About This Item
U.S.A.: Stanford Univ Press, 1994. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Near Fine copy in a Near Fine dust jacket. 349pp including extensive notes and an index.Twelve scholars from the fields of English, French, and German literature here examine the complex ways in which the human body becomes the privileged semiotic model through which eighteenth-century culture defines its political and conceptual centres. In making clear that the deployment of the body varies tremendously depending on what is meant by the 'human body', the essays draw on popular literature, poetics and aesthetics, garden architecture, physiognomy, beauty manuals, pornography and philosophy, as well as on canonical works in the genres of the novel and the drama..
