Beschreibung:
Christine Lehleiter is assistant professor of German at the University of Toronto. Her research focuses on literature and the life sciences.
Examining novels, studies on plant hybridization, treatises on animal breeding, and collections of anatomical monstrosities, Origins Matter delineates how romantic authors imagined the ramifications of emerging notions of heredity for the conceptualization of selfhood.
