Rhetoric and Medicine in Early Modern Europe. Edited by Stephen Pender, Nancy S. Struever

By Stephen Pender and Nancy S. Struever

Book Overview

Through close analysis of texts, cultural and civic communities, and intellectual history, the papers in this collection for the first time, propose a dynamic relationship between rhetoric and medicine as discourses and disciplines of cure in early modern Europe. Although the range of theoretical approaches and methodologies represented here is diverse, the essays explore various ways in which the interventionist disciplines and practices of medicine, moral philosophy and rhetoric were thought consanguine in early modernity.
