Medicine and Society in Early Modern Europe offers students a
concise introduction to health and healing in Europe from 1500 to
1800. Bringing together the best recent research in the field, Mary
Lindemann examines medicine from a social and cultural perspective,
rather than a narrowly scientific one. Drawing on medical
anthropology, sociology, and ethics as well as cultural and social
history, she focuses on the experience of illness and on patients
and folk healers as much as on the rise of medical science,
doctors, and hospitals. This second edition has been updated and
revised throughout in content, style, and interpretations, and new
material has been added, in particular, on colonialism,
exploration, and women. Accessibly written and full of fascinating
insights, this will be essential reading for all students of the
history of medicine and will provide invaluable context for
students of early modern Europe more generally.
