Book Synopsis

Examines the function of violence in the making of the anatomical image during the early modern era, exploring its effects on the production of knowledge and on concepts of the body.



Trade Review

“It is a rare thing to discover a book that is both engaging and profound. Violence and the Genesis of the Anatomical Image will change the way scholars approach early modern anatomical images, for, although the issue of violence has never been out of sight, no scholar has attempted anything like this sustained meditation on the problem. This book should be consulted by anyone interested in the early modern body, not to mention anatomy, medicine, art, and religion.”

—Christian K. Kleinbub,author of Michelangelo’s Inner Anatomies
