About Faces

- Physiognomy in Nineteenth-Century Britain

af Sharrona Pearl
About Faces af Sharrona Pearl
Bag om About Faces

Pearl reveals the way that physiognomy, the study of facial features and their relationship to character, shaped the way that people understood one another and presented themselves in 19th-century Britain. By showing how physiognomy gave people permission to judge others, Pearl holds up a mirror both to Victorian times and our own.
