در سال 1680، مری هرینگ، کلبه خوار فقیر، دوقلوهای به هم چسبیده به دنیا آورد. در سن دو هفتگی، آنها ربوده شدند تا برای پول نشان داده شوند، و مرگ آنها مدت کوتاهی پس از آن منجر به یک نبرد قانونی چهار ساله بر سر مالکیت و درآمد شد. تاریخ خرد دوقلوهای شاه ماهی در سراسر این کتاب میپیچد، زیرا ساختار فصل متناوب بین مصیبتهای خانواده و بافت فرهنگی گستردهتر چگونگی به اصطلاح «تولدهای هیولایی» (اصطلاح معاصر برای انسانها و حیوانات تغییر شکلیافته) است. با چاپ ارزان مورد بحث قرار گرفت، در میخانه ها و قهوه خانه های لندن به نمایش گذاشته شد، توسط انجمن سلطنتی بررسی شد، در فرهنگ بصری به تصویر کشیده شد، و در دادگاه های حقوقی لندن مورد دعوا قرار گرفت. این کتاب تاریخ اجتماعی و پزشکی، مطالعات ناتوانی، و مطالعات هیولاها را با هم پیوند میدهد تا استدلال کند که مردم درباره بدنهای غیرعادی در اوایل انگلستان مدرن بحث میکردند، زیرا آنها سرگرمیهای خبری را فراهم میکردند، اراده خدا را آشکار میکردند، و عملکرد درونی طبیعت را نشان میدادند.
In 1680, the poor cottager Mary Herring gave birth to conjoined twins. At two weeks of age, they were kidnapped to be shown for money, and their deaths shortly thereafter gave rise to a four-year legal battle over ownership and income. The Herring twins\' microhistory weaves throughout this book, as the chapter structure alternates between the family\'s ordeal and the broader cultural context of how so-called \'monstrous births\' (a contemporary term for deformed humans and animals) were discussed in cheap print, exhibited in London\'s pubs and coffeehouses, examined by the Royal Society, portrayed in visual culture, and litigated in London\'s legal courts. This book ties together social and medical history, Disability Studies, and Monster Studies to argue that people discussed unusual bodies in early modern England because they provided newsworthy entertainment, revealed the will of God, and demonstrated the internal workings of Nature.

The excess skin around the hips was maintained, perhaps because, when divorced from its original context, the remaining folds resemble Figure 29.
