Windows of the Soul: Physiognomy in European Culture 1470-1780 - Oxford Historical Monographs
Martin Porter
With the dawn of Romanticism, be it in the realms of science, religion, or poetry, the interest in physiognomy rekindled. This book interprets the way in which books on physiognomy were read, tracing the wider intellectual, social, and cultural changes that contributed to the metamorphosis of this way of beholding oneself and the natural world.
