Just published! 'The Material Body' edited by Profs Lizzy Craig-Atkins and Karen Harvey
"The Material Body: Embodiment, history and archaeology in industrialising England, 1700-1850", edited by Profs Lizzy Craig-Atkins and Karen Harvey (University of Birmingham) has been published by Manchester University Press.
This unique collaboration between historians and archaeologists sees contributors stepping outside their disciplines to study embodiment using documents, material culture and human remains. Papers touch upon bodies, burials, bodysnatching, shoes, tobacco smoking and the embodied experiences of maternity and old age while advancing the shared aim of illuminating embodied subjects and experiences during the industrialisation of England.
