Description

This scholarly collection examines how rhetorical figures related to sickness and health shaped medieval and early modern English literature, religion, science, and medicine. Building on Susan Sontag's groundbreaking work in Illness as Metaphor, the essays explore metaphor, simile, pun, analogy, symbol, personification, allegory, oxymoron, and metonymy as they inform textual and cultural representations of disease across England and its surrounding European context. The volume traces the vital connection between linguistic representation and bodily illness through primary and secondary sources, offering critical insights into how language constructed medical understanding and religious meaning in pre-modern societies. Ideal for scholars of early modern studies, history, literature, and the history of medicine.
