    Summary note
    "Far-ranging discussion of a fascinating topic, namely, the visual representation of 'lame' bodies in Italian art from antiquity to the twenty-first-century. More than just an art-historical study, it is a work of penetrating social history, which reads images of the lame within their changing socio-cultural context, with special emphasis given to the reception and viewership of such images."--Publisher's description.
