Autorenporträt
David M. Turner is Senior Lecturer in History at Swansea University. He formerly taught at the University of Glamorgan where he was director of the 'Controlling Bodies: the Regulation of Conduct 1650-2000' project. He has published widely on the social and cultural history of early modern Britain, including the monograph Fashioning Adultery: Gender, Sex and Civility in England 1660-1740 (Cambridge University Press, 2002). His current research focuses on the idea of the 'body beautiful' in the eighteenth century and connections between disability and criminality in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Kevin Stagg lectures in History at Cardiff University and recently contributed a Chapter on the body for Garthine Walker (ed.), Writing Early Modern History (Hodder Arnold, 2005). His research interests range from the body and disability in history to early modern print culture, transport and trade.
