Crafting Flesh, Crafting the Self: Violence and Identity in Early Nineteenth-century German LiteratureBucknell University Press, 2006 - 280 Seiten This book analyzes wounded human bodies in early nineteenth-century German literature and traces their connection to changing philosophical models of the self.
