Painting in Some Early Works by Rubens""; ""Bibliography""; ""Index""The premise of this volume is that the ubiquity of lactation imagery in early modern visual culture and the discourse on breastfeeding in humanist, religious, medical, and literary writings is a distinct cultural phenomenon that deserves systematic study. Chapters by art historians, social and legal historians, historians of science, and literary scholars explore some of the ambiguities and contradictions surrounding the issue, and point to the need for further study, in particular in the realm of lactation imagery in the visual arts.This volume builds on existing scholarship on representationWomen and gender in the early modern world.Mother and child in literatureBreastfeeding in literatureBreastfeeding in artWomen and religionHistoryWet nurses in literatureBreastfeedingHistoryMother and child in literature.Breastfeeding in literature.Breastfeeding in art.Women and religionHistory.Wet nurses in literature.BreastfeedingHistory.809.933520431Sperling Jutta Gisela855899MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910800194903321Medieval and Renaissance lactations3878329UNINA
