A Cultural History of the Human Body in Antiquity explores 1,750
years of the history of the West, from Homer to the end of the
first millennium CE. This span of time includes three major eras of
Greek civilization, the Roman Republic, the Roman Empire until its
collapse in the 5th Century CE, and Medieval Europe up to the
transition to the High Middle Ages. Key issues include the
invention of the nude as a cultural icon, the early development of
Western medicine, and formative discourses about the identity and
ethical management of the body. A Cultural History of the Human
Body in Antiquity presents an overview of the period with essays on
the centrality of the human body in birth and death, health and
disease, sexuality, beauty and concepts of the ideal, bodies marked
by gender, race, class and disease, cultural representations and
popular beliefs, and self and society.
