The Body in Parts: Fantasies of Corporeality in Early Modern Europe (Winner, Beatrice White Book Prize, English Association 1999)
An examination of how the body--its organs, limbs, and viscera--were represented in the literature and culture of early modern Europe. This provocative volume demonstrates, the symbolism of body parts challenge our assumptions about "the body" as a fundamental Renaissance image of self, society, and nation.
