Description

Explore the complex relationship between gender, health, and social change in eighteenth-century France. In this scholarly work, Mary McAlpin examines how Enlightenment philosophers viewed the impact of hyper-civilization on the stability of society. The text investigates a specific rhetoric of decline that linked moral decay to physical changes in the population. This study focuses on the widespread belief that premature puberty in young urban girls was a sign of societal danger. McAlpin analyzes how exposure to titillating novels, lewd conversations, and lascivious images was thought to cause moral and physical degeneration. By looking at both medical treatises and contemporary literature, the book provides a deep look into the anxieties of the era. Readers will gain insight into how hygiene books and medical discourse were used to address these perceived threats to social order. This book is a valuable resource for those studying the history of medicine, French literature, and the social sciences during the Enlightenment period.
