This Companion offers the first systematic analysis of the
representation of the body in literature. It historicizes
embodiment by charting our evolving understanding of the body from
the Middle Ages to the present day, and addresses such questions as
sensory perception, technology, language and affect; maternal
bodies, disability and the representation of ageing; eating and
obesity, pain, death and dying; and racialized and posthuman
bodies. This Companion also considers science and its construction
of the body through disciplines such as obstetrics, sexology and
neurology. Leading scholars in the field devote special attention
to poetry, prose, drama and film, and chart a variety of
theoretical understandings of the body.
