Description
Desire: A History of European Sexuality is a comprehensive historical survey tracing evolving European attitudes toward sexual desire from ancient times to the modern era. This Routledge work examines two contrasting concepts: desire as a dangerous, polluting force versus desire as a creative and transformative power. Spanning from ancient Judaism, Christianity, and Islam through sexual encounters in colonial Spain and Mesoamerica, the book explores how major historical turning points shaped European perspectives on sexuality. With a chronological structure and wide-ranging scope, it provides scholars, students, and readers interested in cultural history with an in-depth analysis of how societies have understood and regulated sexual behaviour across centuries.

Examines contrasting historical concepts of sexual desire as both dangerous and transformative across different cultures.
