An understanding of the semiotic history of the body in the eighteenth century is crucial to understanding the orders of meaning and value that we have come to associate with this period. In this volume, twelve scholars from the fields of English, French, and German literature analyze the complex appearances of the human body at the centers and limits of the cultural production of meaning.
