In Elegant Anatomy Marieke Hendriksen offers an account of the
material culture of the eighteenth-century Leiden anatomical
collections, which have not been studied in detail before. The
author introduces the novel analytical concept of aesthesis, as
these historical medical collections may seem strange, and
undeniably have a morbid aesthetic, yet are neither curiosities nor
art. As this book deals with issues related to the keeping and
displaying of historical human remains, it is highly relevant for
material culture and museum studies, cultural history, the history
of scientific collections and the history of medicine alike. Unlike
existing literature on historical anatomical collections, this book
takes the objects in the collections as its starting point, instead
of the people that created them.
