Artisans of the body in early modern Italy: Identities, families and masculinities - Gender in History
Sandra Cavallo
This study of barbers-surgeons and other artisans involved in the care and appearance of the body - jewellers, tailors, wigmakers, upholsterers - sheds light on the strong sociocultural affinities that existed in the Early Modern period between these apparently unrelated trades, challenging the divide between medical and non-medical occupations. -- .
