Title: Articulating Life's Memory
Description: Stormer's (communication, journalism, U. of Maine) excellent study examines a broad selection of the 19th-century's writings on abortion, situating them within a context of cultural politics. Ably employing the tools of current critical theory, Stormer's analysis develops the notions of the body and memory contained in the rhetoric used in sources that include medical books and journals, and newspaper articles.
