This study considers attitudes to sexuality, the body, motherhood and the natural world during the 18th and 19th centuries. The collection brings together essays which reinterpret texts and images drawn from the period and includes coverage of cultural history, gender history and anthropology.
A collection of essays - including 3 that have never been published before - by one of the leading figures in cultural history. Professor Jordanova examines and reinterprets the writings of eighteenth-century thinkers and, in the process, sheds light on contemporary views on issues such as motherhood, sexuality, the body, art and medicine. The volume includes some of the author''s most controversial and pioneering work, all the pieces have been revised in the light of the latest historiography and much of the material is published here for the first time.
