Description

8vo hardcover in dj, 291pp. some pencil underlining, otherwise very good. 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. 292 pp. MARGARET HEALY is a Lecturer in English at the University of Sussex. She has published a study of Shakespeare's Richard II, and many articles on early modern literature, medicine and art.
