{"product_id":"victorian-hands-peter-j-capuano-9780814214398","title":"Victorian Hands: The Manual Turn in Nineteenth-Century Body Studies","description":"Until recently, the embodied hand has paradoxically escaped the notice of nineteenth-century cultural and literary historians precisely because of its centrality. The essays in Peter J. Capuano and Sue Zemka's new collection, \u003ci\u003eVictorian Hands: The Manual Turn in Nineteenth-Century Body Studies\u003c\/i\u003e, join an emerging body of work that seeks to remedy this. Casting new light on an array of well-known authors--Charlotte Brontë, Christina Rossetti, George Eliot, Wilkie Collins, William Morris, Thomas Hardy, Henry James, and Oscar Wilde--the volume explores the role of the hand as a nexus between culture and physical embodiment. The contributors to this volume address a wide range of manual topics and concerns, including those related to religion, medicine, science, industry, paranormal states, language, digital humanities, law, photography, disability, and art history. Examining hands, language, materiality, and agency, these contributors employ their expertise as Victorianists in order to understand what hands have to tell us about the cultural preoccupations of the nineteenth century and how the unique conditions of Britain at the time shaped the modern emergence of our cultural relationship with our hands. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e James Eli Adams, Karen Bourrier, Aviva Briefel, Peter J.
