Description

Explore the history of medical theory and literature in early modern England with this academic study from Macmillian. In the medical understanding of this era, health depended on the balance of fluids within the body. Menstruation played a central role in these discussions, as it was believed to regulate blood levels. Sara Read provides a deep look into how these medical theories were reflected across different types of writing. By comparing medical texts with plays, poems, and life-writing, this book offers a clear view of how the female body was understood during this period. It serves as an important resource for those studying the history of medicine, gender, and sexuality in Great Britain.
