This book combines the approaches of historians and archaeologists to explore past individuals as embodied subjects by examining the material and experiencing body in England, 1700–1850. It explores precisely how the biological, physical, environmental, cultural and social interacted in the production of the embodied experiences. -- .
This volume explores the possibilities of studying embodied subjects in the past through the sources and approaches of archaeology, history and material culture studies. It draws on collections of human remains, material culture and documentary evidence from Britain during the period 1700–1850, considering the themes of gender, rank, age, disability and maternity. Each chapter looks at the lived experiences of the material body, bringing together disciplines that share an interest in the material or embodied turn. Combining archaeological and historical data to reconstruct embodied experiences, the volume represents the first collection of genuinely collaborative scholarship by historians and archaeologists.
