The experiences of health and illness, death and dying, the normal
and the pathological have always been an integral part of literary
texts. This volume considers how the two dynamic fields of medicine
and literature have crossed over, and how they have developed
alongside one another. It asks how medicine, as both science and
practice, shapes the representation of illness and transforms
literary form. It considers how literary texts across genres and
languages of disease have put forward specific conceptions of
medicine and impacted its practice. Taking into account the global,
multilingual and multicultural contexts, this volume systematically
outlines and addresses this double-sidedness of the
literature-medicine connection. Literature and Medicine covers a
broad spectrum of conceptual, thematic, theoretical, and
methodological approaches that provide a solid foundation for
understanding a vibrant interdisciplinary field.
