The Body in Parts: Fantasies of Corporeality in Early Modern Europe
Carla Mazzio
Examines how the body - its organs, limbs, viscera - was represented in literature and culture of early modern Europe. The text asks why 16th and 17th century medical, religious, and literary texts portray the body part by part, rather than as an entity and what this tells of society at the time.
