The literary arts represent and provoke experiences of
understanding and emotion, and this open access study examines how
the practical pursuit of well-being in healthcare reveals purposes
at the core of our engagements with and understanding of literature
itself. During the past twenty years, much admirable work in the
"health humanities" has focused upon what studies of literature
contribute to the understandings and the practical work-the
"worldly work"-of healthcare. Such a project aims at developing
healthcare practitioners who bring greater care to those who come
to them ailing or in fear or faced with terrible suffering.
Literary Studies and Well-Being turns this inside out by examining
the intergenerational caretaking of healthcare in a manner which
allows us to comprehend the nature and discipline of literary
studies in new ways. The ebook editions of this book are available
open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on
