The body has come to occupy a central place in cultural history,
with historians consistently exploring such themes as the history
of disease, disability, beauty, and sexuality. This engaging and
concise book offers a clear introduction to the history of the
body, introducing a wide array of conceptual approaches to the
field. It delineates the topic of body history and its origins in
cultural history and gender history, distinguishing it from related
disciplines such as the history of the self, the history of
medicine, the history of emotion and gender history. Bringing in a
wealth of thought-provoking examples from historical writing, it
goes on to explore a range of themes, including racism, anorexia,
gender and sexuality, psychoanalysis and agency. With further
reading and explanations of key concepts provided throughout, this
wide-ranging yet accessible text is the first introductory book to
address this vibrant field from a theoretical perspective. It is
ideal for students of historiography, medical history or the
history of the body.
