Description

Medicine and Maladies explores the socio-political and medical contexts that inform depictions of affliction in nineteenth-century France. It asks how cultural representations appropriate, critique, or develop medical discourse, and how medical writings incorporate literary examples to illustrate scientific hypotheses.
