Making use of an array of sources, this book examines how early modern English people understood bodily difference. It demonstrates that individuals' distinctive features were considered innate, even as discrete populations were believed to have characteristics in common, and challenges the idea that the humoral theory of bodily composition was incompatible with visceral inequality or racism. While 'race' had not assumed its modern valence, and 'racial' ideologies were still to come, such typecasting nonetheless had mundane, lasting consequences. Grounded in humoral physiology, and Christian universalism notwithstanding, bodily prejudices inflected social stratification, domestic politics, sectarian division and international relations. 410 $aBook collections on Project MU 606 $aHISTORY / Modern / 17th Century$2bisacsh 606 $aRacism$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01086616 606 $aPhysical anthropology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01062357 606 $aDiscrimination$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00894985 606 $aSCIENCE / Life Sciences / Zoology / Mammals$2bisacsh 606 $aNATURE / Animals / Mammals$2bisacsh 606 $aRacism$zEngland$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aRacism$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aDiscrimination$zEngland$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aDiscrimination$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aPhysical anthropology$zEngland$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aPhysical anthropology$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aEngland$2fast 608 $aHistory. 615 7$aHISTORY / Modern / 17th Century 615 7$aRacism. 615 7$aPhysical anthropology. 615 7$aDiscrimination. 615 7$aSCIENCE / Life Sciences / Zoology / Mammals. 615 7$aNATURE / Animals / Mammals. 615 0$aRacism$xHistory 615 0$aRacism$xHistory 615 0$aDiscrimination$xHistory 615 0$aDiscrimination$xHistory 615 0$aPhysical anthropology$xHistory 615 0$aPhysical anthropology$xHistory 676 $a599.90941 700 $aDawson$b Mark S$g(Mark Stanley),$f1972-$01805256 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956479703321 996 $aBodies complexioned$94353730 997 $aUNINA
