Book excerpt: Physiognomy - the notion that there is a relationship between character and physical appearance - is often dismissed as a marginal pseudoscience; however, The Appearance of Character argues that it is central to many disciplines and thought processes, and that it constantly adapts itself to current patterns of thought and modes of discourse. This interdisciplinary study determines the characteristics of physiognomical thought in France during the previously neglected period leading up to the reception of Johann Caspar Lavater's physiognomy in the early 1780s. It establishes a corpus of physiognomical texts, juxtaposing `mainstream' figures such as Buffon and Diderot with a host of minor writers. It then considers the representation of the passions in art, examining the legacy of Charles LeBrun, and revealing an aesthetics of facial representation where the passions are conceived in terms of multiplicity, speed, and nuance. The contribution of the Comte de Caylus to the development of the `tete d'expression' is analysed, as well as the innovations of Greuze in the field of expression. Physiognomy in portraiture is also addressed through the work of La Tour. Facial expression in painting is found to have strong parallels with contemporary acting theory and stage practice. Finally, The Appearance of Character addresses the notion of character, outlining various predominant theories, and analysing the complex relationship between character and passions. In this respect, the study has ramifications for theories of the self and individualism in the Enlightenment and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physiognomy and Expression This book is a page of psychology - a study on the human countenance and on human expression. Scientific both in its end and in its method, it takes up the study of expression at the point where Darwin left it, and modestly claims to have gone a step further. I have set myself the task of separating, once for all, positive observations from the number of bad guesses, ingenious conjectures, which have hitherto encumbered the path of these studies. My wish has been to render to science that which is due to science, and to imagination that which is due to imagination. The human countenance interests all; it is a book in which all must read, every day and every hour. The psychologist and artist will find in this work new facts and facts already known, but interpreted by new theories. Perhaps it may also throw into prominence some of the laws to which human expression is subject. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
