Summary

"The body in distress and deformation--black from cholera, excrescent from breast cancer, monstrous, and repaired through prosthesis--offers a prism through which O'Connor refracts the crisis of the self in the world's first industrial society. This is a complex, empirically rich, reflective and vigorously argued book that will be welcomed by literary critics, by historians of the body and of the nineteenth century, and by anyone engaged with cultural theory."--Thomas Laqueur, author of "Making Sex: Body and Gender from the Greeks to Freud"
