Health and Sickness in the Early American Novel: Social Affection and Eighteenth-Century Medicine - Palgrave Studies in Literature, Science and Medicine
Maureen Tuthill
This book is a study of depictions of health and sickness in the early American novel, 1787-1808. These texts reveal a troubling tension between the impulse toward social affection that built cohesion in the nation and the pursuit of self-interest that was considered central to the emerging liberalism of the new Republic.
