[790] Cf., regarding this matter, my “Contributions to the Etiology of Psychopathia Sexualis,” vol. i., pp. 194-200.
[791] Cf. Paul Dehn, “Modern Hawkers’ Literature” (Stuttgart, 1894); “The Repression of Garbage Literature,” published in the Nationalzeitung, No. 683, December 11, 1906; Johannes Liebert, “Das Indianerbuch und die Backfischerzählung,” published in Der Zeitgeist, No. 51, of December 17, 1906.
[792] The literature dealing with the campaign against pornography is very extensive. I may mention: Francisque Sarcey, “La Presse Pornographique,” published in Le Livre: Bibliographie Moderne, November, 1880, pp. 287-289 (Paris, 1880); Hermann Roeren, “Public Immorality and its Repression” (Cologne, 1903); F. S. Schultze, “Immorality and the Christian Family” (Leipzig, 1892); Jacques Jolowicz, “The Campaign against Immorality” (Leipzig, 1904). Works of an opposite tendency: Karl Frenzel, “Art and the Criminal Law” (Berlin, 1885); rejoinder to this by Max Heinemann, “The Graef Trial and German Art” (Berlin, 1885); “The Moral Salvation Army in Berlin: a Union of Men for the Repression of Public Immorality. A Contemporary Picture by * * *” (Berlin, 1889); “Against Prudery and Lying” (Munich, 1892), contains, inter alia; “The Campaign against Immorality on the Part of the Pietists, and Free Literature,” by Dr. Oskar Panizza; Georg Keben, “The Pons Asinorum of Morality” (Berlin, 1900); Heinrich Schneegans, “Prudery and Science,” published in the Frankfurter Zeitung, No. 123, May 5, 1906; “Punishment and Morality,” published in the Vossische Zeitung, No. 447, September 24, 1903 (condemning the confiscation of Hans von Kahlenberg’s “Nixchen”).
[793] With regard to the extent of this campaign against pornography, consult: “Catalogue des Ecrits, Gravures et Dessins condamnés depuis 1814 jusqu’au 1er Janvier, 1850, suivi de la Liste des Individus condamnés pour délits de Presse” (Paris, 1850); “Catalogue des Ouvrages condamnés comme contraire à la Morale publique et aux bonnes Mœurs du 1er Janvier, 1814, au 31 Decembre, 1873” (Paris, 1874); Fernand Drujon, “Catalogue des Ouvrages, écrits et Dessins de toute Nature poursuivis, supprimés ou condamnés depuis le 21 Octobre, 1814, jusqu’au 31 Juillet, 1877, etc.” (Paris, 1878); Index Librorum Prohibitorum Sanctissimi Domini, Pii IX. Pont. Max. Jussu editus. Editio novissima in qua libri omnes ab Apostolica Sede usque ad annum 1786, proscripti suis locis recensentur (Rom, 1876); Catalogue des Livres défendus par la Commission Impériale et Royale jusqu’à l’année 1786 (Brüssel, 1788); O. Delepierre, “Des Livres condamnés au Feu en Angleterre.” For Germany, see the recorded reports regarding forbidden and confiscated matter contained in the Journal of the German Book-Trade.
CHAPTER XXXI
LOVE IN POLITE (BELLETRISTIC) LITERATURE
“The question arises whether it is not absolutely necessary that art should represent this erotic element forbidden by the culture of our time, because it corresponds to a profound subjective human need, to a yearning for the completion of man’s imperfect existence.”—Konrad Lange.
