John Donne's Language of Disease reveals the influence of medical
knowledge -- a rapidly changing field in early modern England -- on
Donne's thinking and writing. This knowledge played a crucial role
in shaping how Donne understood his everyday experiences, and how
he conveyed those experiences in his work. Examining a wide range
of his texts through the lens of medical history, this study
contends that Donne was both a product of his period and a
remarkable exception to it. He used medical language in unexpected
and striking ways that made his ideas resonate with his original
audience, and that can illuminate his ideas for readers today.
