The Faces of Physiognomy: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Johann Caspar Lavater
(Judging from appearances is an art long considered a scie...)
Judging from appearances is an art long considered a science under the rubric of physiognomy. No one in the history of that dubious science stands out more than Johann Caspar Lavater (1741-1801), a Swiss theologian whose Physiognomische Fragmente (1775-78) informs most modern notions of physiognomy. The essays in this volume reexamine physiognomy - judging from appearances - in relation to Lavater's Physiognomische Fragmente (1775) and include Ellis Shookman's Pseudo-Science, Social Fad, Literary Wonder: Johann Caspar Lavater and the Art of Physiognomy, Christoph Siegrist's Letters of the Divine Alphabet, Carsten Zelle's Soul-Semiology, John Graham's Contexts of Physiognomic Description, Katherine Hart's Lavater and late 18th-Century English Caricature, Siegfried Frey's Lavater, Lichtenberg, and the Suggestive Power of the Human Face, C. Rivers's Balzac, Physiognomy, and the Legible Body, Graeme Tytler's Lavater and the 19th-Century English Novel, and Warja Lavater's Perception: When Signs Start to Communicate.
