Reviews
an extremely impressive first book, which deserves to have a significant influence on its field, and on the practice of history more broadly * Matthew McCormack, Cultural and Social History *
a tour de force ... Tullett's book is a really successful social and cultural history of how those distinctions were exploited and used to express other sorts of distinctions between people. It's very much about identities and the body. * Karen Harvey, Five Books *
Odor history is presented here convincingly as an integral part of a broad social history. So no further "hyphen story", but an innovative approach to questions about body concepts, sociability, space, gender, materiality, consumption or even politics and religion. Tullett's pointed theses offer enormous potential for connection and contradiction. * Sarah-Maria Schober, University of Zurich, Sehepunkte *
