Abstract
Smells and smelling and are unjustly neglected across many academic disciplines, yet both have an intriguing history. This talk reveals how people thought about smelling in eighteenth-century England – what smells were, what they did, and how people sensed them – and uses this to uncover some key transformations in eighteenth-century medicine and social life.
Series This talk is part of the Wolfson College Humanities Society talks series.
