The Routledge History of the Senses presents readers with an overview of the field. As well
as pointing to directions for the future of the discipline, it illustrates the extent to which the
subject offers considerable space for the exploration of diverse historical topics through the
lens of sensory experience.
The handbook brings together essays and case studies from some of the leading academics
on the history of the senses. Together, they not only chart topics and arguments in existing
scholarship but introduce fresh methodologies for future analyses. Specifically, the chapters
collectively show that the senses of the historical body often portray the intensity of the
invasion of capital upon the functions of the mind throughout global history. As a global
history, this work arrives at a time when many sensory historians are looking for a touchstone
for moving beyond the often heavily Western frameworks that dominate the existing
literature on the historical senses.
Not only will this book appeal to students and scholars of the history of senses, visual
studies, art history, food studies, and many of the social sciences, but individual chapters
also offer useful reading material for a wide range of historical modules and contemporary
topics.
