It argues that literary representations and metaphors of violence against the body not only offer powerful physical referents for a concept of self, but that they also define violence as an integral component of the self.German literature19th centuryHistory and criticismIdentity (Psychology) in literatureWounds and injuries in literatureGerman literatureHistory and criticism.Identity (Psychology) in literature.Wounds and injuries in literature.830.9/353Lyon John B.1966-1866881MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910973455903321Crafting flesh, crafting the self4474347UNINA
