'Comprehensive, lucid and original, The Anatomy of the Senses will stand high amongst Camporesi's works.' Roy Porter, Wellcome Institute for the History of medicine

'Piero Camporesi is one of the most stimulating and path-breaking historians.' Roy Porter

'These are essays in the fullest sense. Camporesi eschews the footnotes.... He reaches for the opposite: a personal response to subjects shaped by wide reading, inspired insights, and reflexive prejudices.' The Times Higher Education Supplement

'... The mass of detailed evidence collected here remains consistently fascinating. This is an important book by an important historian." Choice
