Focusing on the concept of fiber, this book delves into its significance in eighteenth-century British medicine, highlighting its influence across various fields such as anatomy, physiology, and psychology. It traces the transition from ancient humoralism to the emergence of solid fibers as fundamental components of the body and life processes. By examining the cultural implications of fiber, alongside Baroque influences and the culture of sensibility, the text challenges the notion that the era prioritized nerves, proposing a new perspective centered on fiber instead.
