Description: Through the pioneering work of Duchenne de Boulogne, Franois Delaporte provides a remarkable philosophical and historical examination of expressive physiology during the mid-19th century, and considers the science of emotion as a means of revealing inner life--thoughts, feelings--upon the surface of the face.
Review Quotes: "This remarkable book is exemplary of what the history of science can do for cultural and social history."--Bertand Taithe, University of Manchester
