This fasincating new book seeks to explain an important and
unanswered question: how consumption - a horrible disease - came to
be the glamorous and artistic Romantic malady. It argues that
literary works (cultural media) are not secondary in our
perceptions of disease, but are among the primary determinants of
physical experience. In order to explain the apparent disparity
between literary myth and bodily reality, Lawlor examines
literature and medicine from the Renaissance to the late Victorian
period, and covers a wide range of authors and characters, major
and minor, British and American (Shakespeare, Sterne, Mary Tighe,
Keats, Amelia Opie).
