Essays In War Time

Bag om Essays In War Time

Essays in War Time is a collection of essays written by Havelock Ellis during World War I. The book is a reflection of the author's thoughts and feelings about the war and its impact on society. Ellis discusses a range of topics, including the psychology of war, the role of women in the war effort, and the impact of the war on art and literature. He also explores the concept of patriotism and the dangers of blind nationalism. The essays are written in a clear and concise style and provide a unique perspective on the war from a non-combatant's point of view. Overall, Essays in War Time is a thought-provoking and insightful read that offers a glimpse into the social and cultural climate of the early 20th century.It is not even clear that all those who have talked about the ""White Slave Traffic"" have been quite sure what they meant by the term. Some people, indeed, have seemed to think that it meant prostitution in general. That is, of course, an absurd misapprehension. We are concerned with a trade which flourishes on prostitution, but that trade is not itself the trade or (as some prefer to call it) the profession of prostitutes. Indeed, the prostitute, under ordinary conditions and unharassed by persecution, is in many respects anything but a slave. She is much less a slave than the ordinary married woman.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
