Summary: Scholarly analyses.
Comment: Fourteen experts on Renaissance culture and literature dissect various elements of human anatomy to explain how the Early Modern view of the body "in parts" symbolizes the prevailing social conceptions and other aspects of contemporary understanding.
Or, as put in the Introduction: "The relations between bodily and cognitive systems of organization are in many ways most powerfully encoded by the symbolics of any given part, where the tensions between the metaphoric and metonymic, between the floating and the firmly contextualized, or more generally between conditions of autonomy and dependence are powerfully articulated".
