Review

"I've met a lot of folks that think a lot about nudity, but none understand it as well as Ruth Barcan. [This book] is...fascinating...the first of its kind. It goes deep inside nudity, picks it apart, and shines light on its complexitites. I was amazed."--Annie Sprinkle, Nude Performer turned Sexologist

"Ruth Barcan's brilliant study of the social meanings of nudity is at once learned, witty, and incisive. To be nude is never to be naked: this book ranges broadly across philosophy, religion, literature and popular culture to tell us why, in a lucid analysis of our divided and complex status as human beings."--John Frow, University of Edinburgh

"This book is excellent and of the highest standard in terms of scholarly discussion and exposition; it is also very lively, entertaining, and superbly written. The author claims that the book is rather 'quirky'--and it is, indeed, distinctly offbeat. It is also incredibly illuminating of fundamental questions about humanity and embodiment."--Jo Entwistle, University of Essex and co-editor of Body Dressing
