This open access book presents five different approaches to reading
breath in literature, in response to texts from a range of
historical, geographical and cultural environments. Breath, for all
its ubiquity in literary texts, has received little attention as a
transhistorical literary device. Drawing together scholars of
Medieval Romance, Early Modern Drama, Fin de Siecle Aesthetics,
American Poetics and the Postcolonial Novel, this book offers the
first transhistorical study of breath in literature. At the same
time, it shows how the study of breath in literature can contribute
to recent developments in the Medical Humanities.
