Performance and the practitioner -- pt. 2. Race, nationhood, and discourses of medicine -- pt. 3. Competing discourses.This collection of essays makes an important contribution to scholarship by examining how the myths and practices of medical knowledge were interwoven into popular entertainment on the early modern stage. Rather than treating medicine, the theater, and literary texts separately, the contributors show how the anxieties engendered by medical socio-scientific investigations were translated from the realm of medicine to the stage by Renaissance playwrights, especially Shakespeare. As a whole, the volume reconsiders typical ways of viewing medical theory and practice while individual essays focus on gender and ethnicity, theatrical impersonation, medical counterfeit and malfeasance, and medicine as it appears in the form of various political metaphors.Literary and scientific cultures of early modernity.English dramaEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600History and criticismMedicine in literatureLiterature and medicineEnglandHistory16th centuryLiterature and medicineEnglandHistory17th centuryEnglish drama17th centuryHistory and criticismPhysicians in literatureDiseases in literatureEnglish dramaHistory and criticism.Medicine in literature.Literature and medicineHistoryLiterature and medicineHistoryEnglish dramaHistory and criticism.Physicians in literature.Diseases in literature.822.3093561Moss Stephanie1866456Peterson Kaara L1866457MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910953624003321Disease, diagnosis, and cure on the early modern stage4473864UNINA
