The "long nineteenth century" was an age of empire and empire
builders, of state formation and expansion, and of colonial and
imperial wars and conquest throughout most of the world. It was
also an age that saw enormous changes in how people gave meaning to
and made sense of the human body. Spanning the period from 1800 to
1920, this volume takes up a host of topics in the cultural history
of the human body, including the rise of modern medicine and
debates about vaccination, the representation of sexual perversity,
developments in medical technology and new conceptions of bodily
perfection. A Cultural History of the Human Body in the Age of
Empire 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.
