Judging from appearances is an art long considered a science under the rubric of physiognomy. No one in the history of that dubious science stands out more than Johann Caspar Lavater (1741-1801), a Swiss theologian whose Physiognomische Fragmente (1775-78) informs most modern notions of physiognomy. The essays in this volume reexamine physiognomy - judging from appearances - in relation to Lavater's Physiognomische Fragmente (1775) and include Ellis Shookman's Pseudo-Science, Social Fad, Literary Johann Caspar Lavater and the Art of Physiognomy , Christoph Siegrist's Letters of the Divine Alphabet , Carsten Zelle's Soul-Semiology , John Graham's Contexts of Physiognomic Description , Katherine Hart's Lavater and late 18th-Century English Caricature , Siegfried Frey's Lavater, Lichtenberg, and the Suggestive Power of the Human Face , C. Rivers's Balzac, Physiognomy, and the Legible Body , Graeme Tytler's Lavater and the 19th-Century English Novel , and Warja Lavater's When Signs Start to Communicate.
