The second volume is devoted to the period from the French Revolution to the outbreak of the First World War: the “long 19th century,” which brought numerous innovations that radically changed the perception of the body. Medical discoveries and artistic achievements, emerging sexology and the rapid development of sports, technological progress and moral reflections on pleasure and pain - in all areas, attitudes towards the body are seriously changing. This foreshadows even more profound changes that will occur in the 20th century.
