Description

Early Modern English Noblewomen and Self-Starvation: The Skull Beneath the Skin offers a groundbreaking interdisciplinary examination of self-starvation among English noblewomen from 1500 to 1640. This Routledge Research in Early Modern History volume is the first comprehensive study to focus specifically on noblewomen's self-starvation behaviour, exploring why these women starved themselves, how they understood their actions, and how their contemporaries interpreted and received these practices. The book begins with essential contextual analysis of gender, food, and embodiment in early modern culture before proceeding into detailed historical examination. By combining perspectives from history, medicine, and cultural studies, the work reconstructs the lived experiences and motivations of noblewomen whose bodies became sites of complex personal, spiritual, and social meaning. Essential reading for scholars of early modern history, women's studies, and the history of medicine.
