Eduard Fuchs (1870–1940) - German historian, culturologist, caricaturist, collector of works of art and politician. A contemporary of the emergence of bourgeois morality. Romantic relationships and sexual life at any time turned out to be a characteristic reflection of the spirit of time and moral foundations of the era. In the essay The History of the Monashes, the German historian and culturologist of the first half of the 20th century, Eduard Fuchs, explores the “sexual morality” of representatives of different historical eras - from revival to the beginning of the 20th century. He draws attention to how the ideas about beauty and enjoyment, ways of manifestation of feelings developed, how views on forms of mutual courtship, marriage customs, chastity, prostitution, adultery, and finally, to what place all this occupies in art, changed. In this book, Fuchs plunges into the study of the Society of the Age of Absolutism or, in other ways, a gallant era. Having discarded bashfulness, the ladies put on frank outfits, gentlemen, like a swarm of bees, circle over a fragrant flower garden. The morals are more free than ever ... “There is not a single form and not a single life manifestation that would not receive directions or at least a known color from the sexual basis of life. All social and private life of people and peoples is saturated and filled with sexual trends and interests ”E. Fuchs
