Summary:
"Mitchell Greenberg explores the significance of fantasies of the
body in seventeenth-century France through readings of some of the
most intriguing texts of the period." "In addition to his richly
nuanced readings, Greenberg integrates into his argument material
from a broad array of disciplines, including psychoanalysis,
feminism, epistemology and history. He also points out the
implications of his argument for the political, theological, and
historical thought of the period, moving effortlessly from witch
trials in France to discussions of bodies in Renaissance English
literary criticism to the works of Bakhtin, Foucault, Freud, and
Lacan."--BOOK JACKET.
