The History of the Harem

For hundreds of years, the word «harem» has captivated millions of people around the world, and series about sultan's concubines break all viewing records. What was hidden behind the walls of harems, and why do they still exist? Can the... existence of harems be explained solely by polygamy? What was a harem really — a place of confinement for women or a kind of social elevator for its inhabitants?
The book by the renowned English historian James Clugage tells the story of harems from ancient times to the early 20th century.
The author examines the various aspects of harem life, considers the status of its inhabitants, compares harems from different countries, and conveys European rumors and legends about Eastern harems.
