" This is a major work of cultural and intellectual history. . . . A landmark in the interpretation of psychoanalysis in its genesis and emergence, it is also a major explanation of how we came to view the subject the way many or most people do today." -- J. Hillis Miller, University of California, Irvine
" Sciences of the Flesh is a demanding, but rich study, and a short review cannot do it justice. It has made me want to return to Freud, understanding him as a part of nineteenth-century psychology, and not as its nemesis." -- Victorian Studies
