Fictions of Disease in Early Modern England: Bodies, Plagues and Politics de M. Healy

Fictions of Disease in Early Modern England: Bodies, Plagues and Politics

Autor M. Healy
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 noi 2001
How did early modern people imagine their bodies? What impact did the new disease syphilis and recurrent outbreaks of plague have on these mental landscapes? Why was the glutted belly such a potent symbol of pathology? Ranging from the Reformation through the English Civil War, Fictions of Disease in Early Modern England is a unique study of a fascinating cultural imaginary of 'disease' and its political consequences. Healy's original approach illuminates the period's disease-impregnated literature, including works by Shakespeare, Milton, Dekker, Heywood and others.

Recenzii

'Fictions of Disease is a wonderful book. Healy does a brilliant job of sketching the range of attitudes to disease and health available in early modern England. Blending scholarly rigor with humane sympathy, Healy focuses not just on what was known but on what kinds of corporeal experience that knowledge made available.' - Professor Michael Schoenfeldt, University of Michigan
'Fictions of Disease in Early Modern England contributes greatly to our understanding of the interplay of the medical and the literary. Through imaginative yet meticulous exploration of the potency of particular medical metaphors, Dr Healy anatomizes dominant models of the body and the body politic and demonstrates their symbolic resonances.' - Roy Porter, Professor of the Social History of Medicine, Welcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at University College, London
'Healy's book is an excellent and rich commentary on the multiple narratives of medicine in this era.' - Anita Guerrini, Isis
'Fictions of disease contributes to our understanding of the complex interrelation between medical and literary discourses, elucidating why metaphors of the body were so central to early modern political thought. Healy imaginatively maps the moral, religious and political implications of the language of somatic experience in the early modern period.' - Lesel Dawson, University of Leeds, Medical History
