Synopsis
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 centers. 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.

From the Back Cover
These theoretically sophisticated essays offer examples of the more innovative and exacting styles of scholarly investigation being practiced today: from cultural studies to deconstructive reading, from historical study to close reading, from theoretically inflected feminism to psychoanalytic studies. William B. Warner, SUNY, Buffalo
