Body Language

Medicine and the Eighteenth-Century Comic Novel

Beschreibung

Body Language examines how eighteenth-century medical discourse informed the comic novel. Through comic representations of “leaky” female physical, psychological, and emotional embodiment, novels by Henry Fielding, Tobias Smollett, Laurence Sterne, and Charlotte Lennox engage political and social anxieties caused by women’s sexuality.
