Giuseppe Ghedine 1865 "The idea of unveiling men…is cosmic, implausible, and unthreatening, presumably because their bodies are not the symbolic carriers in modern society either of creative or destructive forces." “If there had been a companion piece called 'Science Looking at Nature,' it would have depicted a fully clothed man, whose gaze was bold, direct, keen, the penetrating gaze of intellectual and sexual mastery.” Fleury, 1795 Works Cited: A Reflection of Victorian Questions Dr. Pinel Unchaining the Mad 1630 Hulton Archive St. Agnes 1893 “A new concept of the self as a rational master of the passions housed in a machine-like body began to replace the concept of the self as an integral part of a close-knit harmony of organic parts united to the cosmos and society. Mechanism rendered nature effectively dead, inert, and manipulable from without.” Showalter, 'Sexual Anarchy: Gender and Culture at the Fin de Siècle', 1990. 148.
