	CRL Collection Resources: Correspondence of Johann Caspar Lavater Microform Set Acquired - CRL FOCUS Newsletter
		Best known today for his Essais sur le Physiognomie, which was published in hundreds of editions since its initial appearance, Lavater was both admired and detested in his time for his unconventional approach to theology and his views on the human character as expressed in facial and cranial features.
		The IDC collection includes more than 21,000 letters in Lavater's estate in the Zentralbibliothek in Zürich, which display the enormous thematic variety produced during a remarkable forty years of correspondence.Now published for the first time, the material is a unique source material for research to such disciplines as theology, history, literature, arts, and the humanities.
		The initial impetus for acquisition of the Lavater corpus was provided by a member of the University of Iowa faculty, whose research on the development of English editions of the Essais grew out of an interest in artist William Blake’s contribution of four engravings to one of the editions.

		Lavater's physiognomy also became influential in literature, such as the book Mary Barton by Elizabeth Gaskell, published in 1848, where onlookers at a murder trial for the character Jem Wilson try to decide if he is guilty by examining the structure of his face.
		Lavater tried to use Camper's method to measure the facial angle of the Jews, but found that "the Jewish had such aquiline faces and noses, that is was impossible to get any type of calculation" (Calixte).

	Literary Encyclopedia: Johann Kaspar Lavater (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Born in the city-state of Zürich on November 15, 1741, Johann Caspar Lavater rose from a background of relative prosperity to a position of international renown in the latter part of the eighteenth century.
		Though Lavater’s attempts to systematise this practice of reading character in the lineaments of the body, which he alternately characterised as a “science” and an “art”, has by now been largely discredited, he remains a significant figure in the history of Western art and ideas.
		The heady combination of theological, aesthetic and political zeal, which was to remain a constituent and enduring component of Lavater’s character, prompted his first intervention in the public sphere in 1762 when, along with Füssli and Felix Hess, he circulated a pamphlet exposing the corruption of Felix Grebel, a Swiss Bailiff.

		Lavater is well aware of the books' dual existence as objects of sequential unfolding in real time and as static objects inaccessibly fixed out of reach.
		Lavater's formal vocabulary is very clean, very Swiss; it is simplicity itself.

	Satan, 1773
		Lavater, a close associate of Fuseli, produced a multi-volume treatise on the derivation of character from external facial features, like the angle of the nose or the shape of the mouth.
		Lavater examines portraits of both real and legendary characters and evaluates them in terms of physiognomic principles.
		Lavater criticises Fuseli’s portrait for the “attractiveness” of the chin and upper lip and the nose which “indicates a judicious spirit but should express more malice and rage”.

	Common-place: The Physiognomy of Biometrics
		Lavater’s distinction between pathognomy (the study of man’s passions and his visible, but impermanent facial expressions) and physiognomy (the study of the correspondence between man’s moral character and his permanent and unalterable facial features) limited the power of people to manipulate the reception of their image in public, since it disassociated expression from character.
		By turning to physiognomy as a way to detect vice, expose dissimulation, and undermine social mobility in their novels, Rowson and other postrevolutionary authors reproduced Lavater’s opposition between a model of character read from performance and one read from the structure of the face.
		In contrast to the revisable, performed, and voluntary self of the fortune-hunting seducer Cogdie, for instance, The Inquisitor posits the permanent, physiognomic, and involuntary one used by the invisible rambler to unmask him.
