Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Offering an innovative perspective on early modern debates concerning embodiment, Alanna Skuse examines diverse kinds of surgical alteration, from mastectomy to castration, and amputation to facial reconstruction. Body-altering surgeries had profound socio-economic and philosophical consequences. They reached beyond the physical self, and prompted early modern authors to develop searching questions about the nature of body integrity and its relationship to the soul: was the body a part of one's identity, or a mere 'prison' for the mind? How was the body connected to personal morality? What happened to the altered body after death? Drawing on a wide variety of texts including medical treatises, plays, poems, newspaper reports and travel writings, this volume will argue the answers to these questions were flexible, divergent and often surprising, and helped to shape early modern thoughts on philosophy, literature, and the natural sciences. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. This pioneering account offers a new perspective on debates concerning embodiment in the early modern period, examining the varied experiences of those who underwent surgical alteration as a starting point for discussing questions of personal integrity, morality, and resurrection. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781108843614
