Description

Lucinda McCray Beier's landmark study, originally published in 1987 and now revived by Routledge, transports readers into the world of illness during seventeenth-century England. Drawing on personal accounts from both sufferers and healers, this scholarly work examines the diverse landscape of medical practitioners available to ordinary people, from housewives preparing herbal remedies to formally trained surgeons and physicians. Beier explores the various therapies employed, the disorders people endured, and the critical differences in how healing was understood and practised across social classes. This comprehensive historical analysis reveals how individuals navigated illness and sought relief through an array of healers and treatments, offering valuable insight into the daily realities of health and medicine in early modern England.
