Infos

From the hair of a famous dead poet to botanical ornaments and meat pies, the subjects of this book are dynamic, organic artifacts. A cross-disciplinary collection of essays, Organic Supplements examines the interlaced relationships between natural things and human beings in early modern and eighteenth-century Europe. The material qualities of things as living organisms-and things that originate from living organisms- enabled a range of critical actions and experiences to take place for the people who wore, used, consumed, or perceived them.
