Human bodies have been represented and defined in various ways
across different cultures and historical periods. As an object of
interpretation and site of social interaction, the body has
throughout history attracted more attention than perhaps any other
element of human experience. The essays in this volume explore the
manifestations of the body in Italian society from the fourteenth
through the seventeenth centuries.
Adopting a variety of interdisciplinary approaches, these fresh
and thought-provoking essays offer original perspectives on
corporeality as understood in the early modern literature, art,
architecture, science, and politics of Italy. An impressively
diverse group of contributors comment on a broad range and variety
of conceptualizations of the body, creating a rich dialogue among
scholars of early modern Italy.
