This book is a survey of personal illness as described in various
forms of early modern manuscript life-writing. How did people in
the seventeenth century rationalise and record illness? Observing
that medical explanations for illness were fewer than may be
imagined, the author explores the social and religious frameworks
by which illness was more commonly recorded and understood. The
story that emerges is of illness written into personal manuscripts
in prescriptive rather than original terms. This study uncovers the
ways in which illness, so described, contributed to the
self-patterning these texts were set up to perform.
