520 1 $a"This book analyzes wounded human bodies in early nineteenth-century German literature and traces their connection to changing philosophical models of the self. It argues that literary representations and metaphors of violence against the body not only offer powerful physical referents for a concept of self, but that they also define violence as an integral component of the self." "In contrast to the rational models of the self found at the end of the eighteenth century, the literature of early nineteenth-century Germany turns away from the body as object and towards the body as subject. This turn reflects the shift in philosophy from transcendental idealism towards materialism, from the rational to the embodied self."--BOOK JACKET.
