About this book
In the mid-19th century, as societal norms around sexuality began to shift, Alfred Delvau crafted the "Dictionnaire érotique moderne," a pioneering lexicon that delves into the intricate language of eroticism. This unique document not only catalogs a diverse array of expressions but also explores the cultural nuances surrounding desire and intimacy, making it an essential resource for understanding the evolution of erotic discourse. With its focus on the subtleties of erotic terminology and the complexities of human relationships, this work appeals to students, historians, and civic activists alike. Delvau’s insightful definitions illuminate the often-overlooked dimensions of sensuality, inviting readers to engage with the rich tapestry of erotic expression in a historical context.
