Yet outside dermatology textbooks, the topic of skin has been largely ignored. This important cultural study shows how our perception of skin has changed from the eighteenth century to the present. She examines the changing significance of skin through brilliant analyses of literature, art, philosophy, and anatomical drawings and writings.
