520 $a"A groundbreaking account of what it was like to live in a Victorian body from one of our best historians ... brings the Victorians back to life and helps us understand how they lived their lives"--Publisher's description.
520 $aHughes follows five iconic figures of the nineteenth century in Victorian England as they encounter the world not through their imaginations or intellects but through their bodies. Or rather, through their body parts. Lady Flora Hastings is an unmarried lady-in-waiting at young Queen Victoria's court whose swollen stomach ignites a scandal that almost brings the new reign crashing down. Darwin's iconic beard provides important new clues to the roles that men and women play in the great dance of natural selection. George Eliot brags that her right hand is larger than her left, but her descendants are strangely desperate to keep the information secret. The poet-painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti takes his art and his personal life in a new direction thanks to the bee-stung lips of his secret mistress, Fanny Cornforth. And the tragic evisceration of Fanny Adams, an eight-year-old working-class girl, tells us much about the currents of desire and violence at large in the mid-Victorian countryside. -- adapted from jacket.
