Focusing on the prolific figures of the barber, surgeon and barber-surgeon, the author explores what it meant to the early modern population for a group of practitioners to be associated with both the trade guilds and an emerging professional medical world. The book uncovers the differences and cross-pollinations between barbers and surgeons' practices which play out across the literature: we learn not only about their cultural, civic, medical and occupational histories but also about how we should interpret patterns in language, name choice, performance, materiality, acoustics and semiology in the period. The investigations prompt new readings of Shakespeare, Jonson, Middleton and Beaumont, among others. And with chapters delving into early modern representations of medical instruments, hairiness, bloodletting procedures, waxy or infected ears, wart removals and skeletons, readers will find much of the contribution of this book is in its detail, which brings its subject to life. 410 0$aEarly Modern Literature in History,$x2634-5927 606 $aEuropean literature$yRenaissance, 1450-1600 606 $aScience$xHistory 606 $aLiterature 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature 606 $aHistory of Science 606 $aLiterature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aModern History 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 615 0$aEuropean literature 615 0$aScience$xHistory. 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 14$aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 615 24$aLiterature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 676 $a820.9/3561 700 $aDecamp$b E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062503 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255232903321 996 $aCivic and Medical Worlds in Early Modern England$92526120 997 $aUNINA
