Book Synopsis
An engaging exploration of the stories our bodies tell and the stories we tell about our bodies.

Trade Review
"Telling the Flesh is a major contribution to research on the Tissot archive and, more broadly, to our understanding of the discourse of the body and the concept of illness and medical responses to it in the age of Enlightenment. An impressive work of synthesis, it draws connections between disparate fields of scholarship in literary criticism, history, gender studies, sexuality studies, and medicine. It will be of exceptional value to readers in all of the above mentioned fields." Elizabeth Goldsmith, Boston University
