Overview
Although the book draws on art and literature, it is chiefly concerned with themes and ideas relating to the natural world, the body, and gender differences. To this end, Professor Jordanova concentrates on reinterpreting texts and images drawn, mainly from eighteenth and early nineteenth-century British and French material.

"Truly interdisciplinary, it is designed for students and academics alike coming from a range of disciplines, including cultural history, gender history, art history, anthropology, the history of science and medicine, and eighteenth-century studies.Book Details
