Novel Medicine shows how fiction shaped and was shaped by medical discourse and how it popularized practical, vernacular kinds of knowledge. A vibrant exchange among literary, commercial, and medical spheres resulted in a web of texts that produced distinct genealogies of romantic and sexual disease, iconographic lineages of heroic doctors, and medicalized attitudes toward reading. Novel Medicine interrogates how fiction incorporated, created, and disseminated medical knowledge. Conversely, it demonstrates how practical medical texts employed literary devices and figurative strategies to propagate information. Employing interdisciplinary strategies, it examines the dynamic interplay between discourses of fiction and medicine as well as their representations of illnesses and healers. Critical readings of fictional and medical texts, as well as sources such as fiction commentary, criticism, medical manuscripts, newspapers, essays, print images, and biographies inform an understanding of the body in early modern China. These readings also provide a counterpoint to prevailing narratives that focus on the 'literati' aspects of the novel, showing that these texts were not merely read, but were used by a wide variety of readers and for a range of purposes. This inquiry into the intersections of kinds and sources of knowledge--fictional and real, elite and vernacular--illuminates the history of reading and daily life and challenges us to rethink the nature of Chinese literature"--Provided by publisher.Modern Language Initiative BooksMedizinMotivgndChinesischgndLiteraturgndQing Dynasty (China)fast(OCoLC)fst01696773Popular culturefast(OCoLC)fst01071344Medicine in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst01015167Medical literaturefast(OCoLC)fst01014347Literature and societyfast(OCoLC)fst01000096Knowledge, Sociology offast(OCoLC)fst00988190Healing in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00952728Diseases in literaturefast(OCoLC)fst00895210Chinese fictionMing dynastyfast(OCoLC)fst01906858Chinese fictionfast(OCoLC)fst00857362Books and readingSocial aspectsfast(OCoLC)fst00836470HISTORYAsiaChinabisacshLITERARY CRITICISMAsianGeneralbisacshMedical WritinghistoryReadinghistoryMedicine in LiteratureKnowledge, Sociology ofHistoryPopular cultureChinaHistoryBooks and readingSocial aspectsChinaHistoryLiterature and societyChinaHistoryMedical literatureChinaHistoryDiseases in literatureMedicine in literatureHealing in literatureChinese fictionQing dynasty, 1644-1912History and criticismChinese fictionMing dynasty, 1368-1644History and criticismChinafastChinaHistory.Criticism, interpretation, etc.Electronic books.
