      abstract = {This book explores the bodys physical limits and the ways  in which the confines of the body are delineated,  transgressed, or controlled in literary and philosophical  texts. Drawing on classics, philosophy, religious studies,  medieval studies, and critical theory and examining  material ranging from Homer to Game of Thrones, this volume  facilitates an interdisciplinary investigation into how the  boundaries of the body define the human form in language.  This volumes essays suggest that the bodys meaning is  perhaps never more evident than in the violation of its  wholeness. The boundaries of the body are areas of  transition between states and are therefore vulnerable. As  individuals find themselves isolated from their world and  one another, their bodies regularly allow for physical  interactions, incur transgressions and violations, and  undergo profound transformations. Thus sympathy, sexuality,  disease, and violence are among the main themes of the  volume, which, ultimately, reexamines the place of the body  in our understanding of what it means to be human.},
