Symptomatic Subjects: Bodies, Medicine, and Causation in the Literature of Late Medieval England - Alembics: Penn Studies in Literature and Science
Julie Orlemanski
In the period just prior to medicine's modernity, England saw a remarkable upsurge in medical writing. Julie Orlemanski's Symptomatic Subjects shows how late medieval English writers drew on the discourse of medicine to narrate anew the crossings-and the conflicts-between physiology and personhood.
