Generation and Degeneration by Valeria Finucci
Exploring the construction of genealogies, this book retraces generational fantasies and discords in a variety of related contexts, from the medical to the theological, and from the literary to the historical. It is for those in English, Italian, Spanish, and French studies, and in history of medicine, and ancient and modern religious studies.
“The glory of this collection is the way it tackles quite abstract issues corporallyIt reminds the reader how fundamental is the relation between human physiology and human ideas of history.”-Susan Noakes, author of Timely Reading: Between Exegesis and Interpretation “[This book’s] ensemble of motifs is not simply cast in currently fashionable psychoanalytical language. It displays a wide array of critical perspectives yet a homogeneity of viewpoints and ideological bents occur through its disparate contributions. A truly unified piece of scholarship.”- Giuseppe F. Mazzotta, author of The Worlds of Petrarch
