This book is about an emotion constantly present in human culture
and history: fear. It is also a book about literature and medicine,
two areas of human endeavour that engage with fear most acutely.
The essays in this volume explore fear in various literary and
medical manifestations, in the Western World, from medieval to
modern times. It is divided into two parts. The first part,
Treating Fear, examines fear in medical history, and draws from
theology, medicine, philosophy, and psychology, to offer an account
of how fear shifts in Western understanding from the Middle Ages to
Modern times. The second part, Writing Fear, explores fear as a
rhetorical and literary force, offering an account of how it is
used and evoked in distinct literary periods and texts. This
coherent and fascinating collection will appeal to medical
historians, literary critics, cultural theorists, medical
humanities' scholars and historians of the emotions.
