SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book is about how France's two major documentary authors of the nineteenth century - Gustave Flaubert and Émile Zola - incorporate medical knowledge about the body into their works, and in so doing exploit its metaphorical potential of the body to engage in critical reflection about the accumulation and reconfiguration of knowledge.
