A prolific writer, Mantegazza can be seen as a forerunner of what has come to be known as cultural studies on account of his interdisciplinary approach, his passionate blend of scientific and literary elements in his writings, and his ability to transcend the boundaries between 'high' and 'low' culture. Though extremely popular during his lifetime both in Italy and abroad, Mantegazza's works have not been made available in a significant English language compilation. This volume is a representative overview of Mantegazza's key works, many of them translated into English for the first time. In addition to the unabridged Physiology of Love (1873), a veritable best-seller at the time of its initial publication, this compilation features selections from Mantegazza's writings on medicine, his travelogues, his epistolary novel One Day in Madeira (1868), and his treatise on materialistic aesthetics. Replete with an extensive and informative introduction by the editor, The Physiology of Love and Other Writings also excerpts Mantegazza's works of science fiction, memoir, and social and cultural criticism. As an anthology of the works of Paolo Mantegazza, a writer of diverse topical orientations, this volume is also an account of the circulation of ideas and cross-fertilization of disciplines that defined a crucial period of Italian and European cultural life. 410 0$aLorenzo da Ponte Italian library. 606 $aLove 606 $aSex 606 $aEthnology 606 $aCulture 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLove. 615 0$aSex. 615 0$aEthnology. 615 0$aCulture. 676 $a306.701 700 $aMantegazza$b Paolo$f1831-1910,$0455568 702 $aPireddu$b Nicoletta 702 $aJacobson$b David 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456819003321 996 $aThe physiology of love and other writings$92177449 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03060nam 2200697 a 450 001 9910437585303321 005 20251116203121.0 010 $a1-283-90986-3 010 $a1-4614-5571-5 024 7 $a10.1007/978-1-4614-5571-4 035 $a(CKB)2670000000278645 035 $a(EBL)1081952 035 $a(OCoLC)821051407 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000798818 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11462969 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000798818 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10754955 035 $a(PQKB)11227962 035 $a(DE-He213)978-1-4614-5571-4 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1081952 035 $a(PPN)16830340X 035 $a(iGPub)SPNA0022355 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000278645 100 $a20120907d2013 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aIris biometrics $efrom segmentation to template security /$fChristian Rathgeb, Andreas Uhl, Peter Wild 205 $a1st ed. 2013. 210 $aNew York $cSpringer Science+Business Media, LLC$d2013 215 $a1 online resource (369 p.) 225 0 $aAdvances in information security,$x1568-2633 ;$v59 225 0$aAdvances in information security,$x1568-2633 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a1-4899-8619-7 311 08$a1-4614-5570-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $apt.
