Disgust is an essential human emotion that has remained mostly neglected, even in modern, "emotional turn" scholarship. Fifteen essays by historians and literary scholars examine disgust in theory and practice, with topics ranging from medicine, drama, oratory, historiography, fiction, biography, to the status of witches, eunuch priests, and theatrical professionals.
