The Body in Parts : Fantasies of Corporeality in Early Modern Europe
ISBN: 9780415916943 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Examines how the body - its organs, limbs, viscera - was represented in the literature and culture of early modern Europe. Why did 16th and 17th century medical, religious, and literary texts portray the body part by part, rather than as an entity? And what does this view of the human body tell us about society's view of part and whole, of individual and universal in the early modern period? As this volume demonstrates, the symbolics of body parts challenges our assumptions about the body as a fundamental Renaissance image of self, society, and nation. The book presents work by: Nancy Vickers...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: 1-3 dni roboczych Ernst Heinrich Haeckel (1834-1919) was renowned as one of the foremost early exponents of Darwinism.
