Physick and the family offers new insights into the early modern sickness experience, through a study of the medical history of Wales.
Newly available in paperback, this first ever monograph of early modern Welsh medicine utilises a large body of newly discovered source material. Using numerous approaches and methodologies, it makes a significant contribution to debates in medical history, including economies of knowledge, domestic medicine and care, material culture and the rural medical marketplace. Drawing on sources from probates to parish records, diaries to domestic remedy collections, Withey offers new directions for recovering the often obscure medical worldview of the 'ordinary' person. This innovative study will appeal to anyone interested in the social history of the early modern period. Its multi-disciplinary approach will appeal to a broad spectrum of academics and scholars, and will enhance a range of courses and modules both in medical history and in social history more widely.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Manchester University PressISBN-13:9780719091254ISBN-10:071909125XUPC:9780719091254Book Category:History, MedicalBook Subcategory:Modern, HistoryBook Topic:17th Century, 18th CenturySize:8.50 x 5.50 x 0.58 inchesWeight:0.327Product ID:SCR0F25JNN
