"This study addresses the history of the public entertainer, dancers, singers, actors, and others from ancient Greece and Rome into the Islamic world from its inception to the present day. Reviled, despised, but deeply desired and alluring, the public entertainer came from abject backgrounds--slaves, orphans, minority groups--and served as models of how not to behave through their scandalous lives"
