The Body in Parts; Fantasies of Corporeality in Early Modern Europe

Editorial Reviews
The New York Times - 21 November 1997
"...these essays are incredibly learned, filled with analyses of anatomical treatises, ancient medical encyclopedias and commentaries on scripture."

Karen Newman, Brown University
"The Body in Parts is a must-read not only for those interested in the culture of early modern Europe, but for anyone interested in thinking about the modern and post-modern body as well. Its claims for the importance of the body and its discourses for understanding the literary, scientific, political and religious culture of early modern Europe are persuasive and its range--literally from head to toe--and learning admirable. A significant contribution to ongoing work on gender, sexuality and the body." --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.
