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.

Industry Reviews

Organic Supplements is often as imaginative, energetic, and sensuously material as the bodies and things that it carefully and elaborately interrogates; as a contribution to studies operating at the meeting points of a rigorously contextualized new materialism and ecocriticism, and of art, science, and history, it offers insights that reveal exciting ways forward.--James Metcalf "Eighteenth-Century Studies"

A significant and engaging collection that addresses in different and often fascinating ways the blurred and shifting edge terrains of concepts, categories, objects, and processes in early modern Europe.

--Elizabeth Heckendorn Cook, University of California, Santa Barbara, author of Epistolary Bodies: Gender and Genre in the Eighteenth-Century Republic of Letters

A sophisticated and original volume, Organic Supplements distinguishes itself from other recent collections on material objects by an emphasis on organic things--things that have their origins in once-living organisms. The interdisciplinarity of the essays--encompassing music, literature, medicine, art, and the history of science--is exceptional, and the scholarly excellence of its contributors is uniformly impressive.

--Mary Floyd-Wilson, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, author of Occult Knowledge, Science, and Gender on the Shakespearean Stage
