During the 18th century medicine became an autonomous discipline
and practice. Surgeons justified themselves as skilled
practitioners and set themselves apart from the unspecialized, hack
barber-surgeons of early modernity. This title presents 17 essays
on the relationship between medicine and literature during the
Enlightenment.

This collection explores Canadian music's commentaries on American
culture. 'American Woman, get away from me!' - one of the most
resonant musical statements to come out of Canada - is a cry of
love and hate for its neighbour. Canada's close, inescapable
entanglement with the superpower to the south provides a unique yet
representative case study of the benefits and detriments of the
global American culture machine. Literature scholars apply textual
and cultural analysis to a selection of Anglo-Canadian music - from
Joni Mitchell to Peaches, via such artists as Neil Young, Rush, and
the Tragically Hip - to explore the generic borrowings and social
criticism, the desires and failures of Canada's musical
relationship with the USA. This innovative volume will appeal to
those interested in Music, Canadian Studies, and American Studies.
Blake's 'Human Form Divine' has long commanded the spotlight.
Beastly Blake shifts focus to the non-human creatures who populate
Blake's poetry and designs. The author of 'The Tyger' and 'The
Lamb' was equally struck by the 'beastliness' and the beauty of the
animal kingdom, the utter otherness of animal subjectivity and the
meaningful relationships between humans and other creatures.
'Conversing with the Animal forms of wisdom night & day', Blake
fathomed how much they have to teach us about creation and
eternity. This collection ranges from real animals in Blake's
surroundings, to symbolic creatures in his mythology, to animal
presences in his illustrations of Virgil, Dante, Hayley, and
Stedman. It makes a third to follow Queer Blake and Sexy Blake in
irreverently illuminating blind spots in Blake criticism. Beastly
Blake will reward lovers of Blake's writing and visual art, as well
as those interested in Romanticism and animal studies.
What, and when, is British Romanticism, if seen not in island
isolation but cosmopolitan integration with European Romantic
literature, history and culture? The essays here range from poetry
and the novel to science writing, philosophy, visual art, opera and
melodrama; from France and Germany to Italy and Bosnia.
