- This monograph of 103,500 words is the product of sustained work, including four years of full-time research. It investigates a specific theme (taste) in depth, in relation to a number of different contexts (including humanism, drama, anatomical dissection, religion, experimental science, and social relations). In order to build its critical argument, it synthesizes theoretical frameworks and methods from a number of disciplines, including history and philosophy as well as literary studies. It also analyses primary sources from across three centuries, ranging from poetry anthologies to anatomical textbooks, and including archival sources such as documents from the Royal Society’s seventeenth-century collections.
