Book Synopsis Monstrosities by : Paul Youngquist
Book excerpt: Paul Youngquist reveals the cultural politics of embodiment in Britain in the late 18th & early 19th centuries. Drawing on the histories of medicine, economics, liberalism & nationalism, his work shows that bodies are not simply born, but rather built bycultural practices directed toward particular social ends.
