Description

Explore the deep connection between language and physical well-being in Rhetorics of Bodily Disease and Health in Medieval and Early Modern England. This scholarly collection expands on ideas like those found in Susan Sontag's work regarding illness and metaphor, applying them to a historical context. This volume examines how rhetorical figures such as metaphor, simile, pun, analogy, symbol, personification, allegory, oxymoron, and metonymy shaped the way people understood sickness and health. The essays provide a look into how these linguistic tools informed literature, religion, science, and medicine throughout England and its surrounding European surroundings. Readers will find a detailed study of the literary and scientific cultures of early modernity. It serves as a valuable resource for those studying the history of medicine, early modern English literature, or the evolution of scientific thought. By looking at the way language was used to describe the body, this book offers a unique perspective on the cultural history of the medieval and early modern periods.
