The Body Emblazoned: Dissection and the Human Body in Renaissance Culture

Jonathan Sawday explores the dark, morbid eroticism of the Renaissance anatomy theatre. He traces the often illicit activities of the great anatomists of the period, linking their work to a wider cultural discourse which embraces not only the great monuments of Renaissance art, but also the very foundation of the modern idea of knowledge.
