- Description
- This book focuses on prostitutes as literary figures and prostitution as a topic in works by well-known writers, such as Frank Wedekind, Arthur Schnitzler and Bertolt Brecht, and lesser-known such as Margarete Böhme, Emmy Hennings, Curt Corrinth and Alfred Lemm. The authors analyze texts from the Wilhelmine Empire to the Weimar Republic and provide the social, legal and cultural contexts necessary for their interpretation.
