SUMMARY
This original book takes a new look at problems surrounding the physical, material nature of the human body in eighteenth-century England, 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.Flynn, Carol Houlihan is the author of 'Body in Swift and Defoe' with ISBN 9780521382687 and ISBN 0521382688.
