Etude riche et passionnante sur l'évolution des moeurs et de la notion de civilisation en Europe (notamment en France et en Allemagne), depuis le Moyen-Age jusqu'au XVIIIe siècle. Evocation intéressante, quoique rapide, du lien entre le développement des "autocontraintes" et les théories freudiennes.
Des extraits issus des traités de bonne conduite des siècles passés sont truculents pour le lecteur d'aujourd'hui.
Excellente traduction de Pierre Kamnitzer. (
