商品簡介
Major changes unique to the 19th century made hands newly relevant, says Capuano, and this new relevance reconfigured the hand's relationship to the body in ways that shaped just about every contour of the Victorian novel. The two main changes he identifies are unprecedented developments in mechanized industry, and drastically altered evolutionary paradigms. One of his main concerns is to locate and historicize the anxiety about the body that appears when the hand is dislocated, destabilized, or rendered otherwise changed by industrial mechanization and evolutionary theory.
