| Zusammenfassung: | This original book takes a new look at problems surrounding the physical, material nature of the human body, in particular as represented in the works of Jonathan Swift and Daniel Defoe. It examines the role that literary invention (with its rhetorical and linguistic strategies) plays in expressing and exploring the problems of physicality, and deals with issues such as sexuality, cannibalism, scatology and the fear of contagion. Swift and Defoe are seen as writers confronting the essentially modern problem of what it is to be human in a rapidly developing consumer economy, where individual bodies, beset by poverty and disease, are felt to be threatened by the enveloping masses of urban crowds. In an eclectic synthesis of recent approaches, Carol Flynn works into her study the insights provided by biographical and psychoanalytic criticism, Marxism and social history, studies of eighteenth-century philosophy, and feminist readings. Her challenging approach reviews the cost of being human, the 'expense' of material as opposed to spiritual life in eighteenth-century society, as it is revealed in its literature |

It examines the role that literary invention (with its rhetorical and linguistic strategies) plays in expressing and exploring the problems of physicality, and deals with issues such as sexuality, cannibalism, scatology and the fear of contagion. Swift and Defoe are seen as writers confronting the essentially modern problem of what it is to be human in a rapidly developing consumer economy, where individual bodies, beset by poverty and disease, are felt to be threatened by the enveloping masses of urban crowds. In an eclectic synthesis of recent approaches, Carol Flynn works into her study the insights provided by biographical and psychoanalytic criticism, Marxism and social history, studies of eighteenth-century philosophy, and feminist readings. Her challenging approach reviews the cost of being human, the 'expense' of material as opposed to spiritual life in eighteenth-century society, as it is revealed in its literature Swift, Jonathan / 1667-1745 / Knowledge / Anatomy Defoe, Daniel / 1661?-1731 / Knowledge / Anatomy Swift, Jonathan 1667-1745 (DE-588)118620193 gnd rswk-swf Defoe, Daniel 1660-1731 (DE-588)118524275 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1700-1800 Wissen English literature / 18th century / History and criticism Human body in literature Sex in literature Körper Motiv (DE-588)4164424-4 gnd rswk-swf Körper (DE-588)4031575-7 gnd rswk-swf Erotik Motiv (DE-588)4123157-0 gnd rswk-swf Defoe, Daniel 1660-1731 (DE-588)118524275 p Körper (DE-588)4031575-7 s 1\p DE-604 Körper Motiv (DE-588)4164424-4 s 2\p DE-604 Swift, Jonathan 1667-1745 (DE-588)118620193 p 3\p DE-604 4\p DE-604 Erotik Motiv (DE-588)4123157-0 s 5\p DE-604 6\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-02165-4 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-38268-7 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511553462 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 5\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 6\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
