Zeldin 'Instead of broadening the notions of pleasure, cyles of repression and permissiveness succeeded one another. The rich reproached the poor for their witty bawdiness, but were then fascinated by the habits they condemned, and borrowed them. The poor fell in and out of love with respectability . Uneven mountains of erotic art are reminders of alternating decades and sometimes centuries of licentiousness...' from - An Intimate History of Humanity 1994 |
