Physick and the family offers new insights into the early modern
sickness experience, through a study of the medical history of
Wales. Newly available in paperback, this first ever monograph of
early modern Welsh medicine utilises a large body of newly
discovered source material. Using numerous approaches and
methodologies, it makes a significant contribution to debates in
medical history, including economies of knowledge, domestic
medicine and care, material culture and the rural medical
marketplace. Drawing on sources from probates to parish records,
diaries to domestic remedy collections, Withey offers new
directions for recovering the often obscure medical worldview of
the 'ordinary' person. This innovative study will appeal to anyone
interested in the social history of the early modern period. Its
multi-disciplinary approach will appeal to a broad spectrum of
academics and scholars, and will enhance a range of courses and
modules both in medical history and in social history more widely.
