Monstrosity, Bodies, and Knowledge in Early Modern England: Curiosity to See and Behold - Premodern Health, Disease, and Disability
Whitney Dirks
This book ties together social and medical history, Disability Studies, and Monster Studies to argue that people discussed unusual bodies in early modern England because they provided newsworthy entertainment, revealed the will of God, and demonstrated the internal workings of Nature.
