It is tempting to categorize historical practices as either orthodox or quack, but what did these terms really signify in medical and public circles at the time? How did they develop and evolve? What do they tell us about actual medical practices? Doctoring the Novel explores the ways in which language constructs and stabilizes these slippery terms by examining medical quackery and orthodoxy in works such as Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Charles Dickens's Bleak House and Little Do 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and medicine$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aQuacks and quackery in literature 606 $aPhysicians in literature 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and medicine$xHistory 615 0$aQuacks and quackery in literature. 615 0$aPhysicians in literature. 676 $a823/.92093561 700 $aPamboukian$b Sylvia A$01153868 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824581203321 996 $aDoctoring the novel$94086154 997 $aUNINA
