Through close analysis of texts, cultural and civic communities,
and intellectual history, the papers in this collection, for the
first time, propose a dynamic relationship between rhetoric and
medicine as discourses and disciplines of cure in early modern
Europe. Although the range of theoretical approaches and
methodologies represented here is diverse, the essays collectively
explore the theories and practices, innovations and interventions,
that underwrite the shared concerns of medicine, moral philosophy,
and rhetoric: care and consolation, reading, policy, and rectitude,
signinference, selfhood, and autonomy-all developed and refined at
the intersection of areas of inquiry usually thought distinct. From
Italy to England, from the sixteenth through to the mid-eighteenth
century, early modern moral philosophers and essayists,
rhetoricians and physicians investigated the passions and
persuasion, vulnerability and volubility, theoretical intervention
and practical therapy in the dramas, narratives, and disciplines of
public and private cure. The essays are relevant to a wide range of
readers, including cultural, literary, and intellectual historians,
historians of medicine and philosophy, and scholars of rhetoric.
