The Renaissance was a time of immense change in the social,
political, economic, intellectual, and artistic arenas of the
Western world. The cultural construction of the human body occupied
a pivotal role in those transformations. The social and cultural
meanings of embodiment revolutionized the intellectual, political,
and emotional ideologies of the period. Covering the period from
1400 to 1650, this volume examines the flexible and shifting
categories of the body at an unparalleled time of growth in
geographical exploration, science, technology, and commerce. A
Cultural History of the Human Body in the Renaissance 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.
