Sinopsis
The essays collected here not only contribute to our understanding of the conception and application of a variety of medical ideas, showing how they depended on beliefs about climate and corporeal constitution as well as often inconsistent data or récits culled from travellers and geographically dispersed case histories, but also open up illuminatingly complex perspectives on the uncertainties and dangers of the phenomenon of modern travel.

Condición: very good. Amsterdam & Atlanta, GA: Rodopi, 2000. Paperback. XI,338 pp. (Clio Medica/The Wellcome Institute Series in the History of Medicine, 56). - The essays in this volume, which range across Europe, America and Africa, and from the 18th to the 20th centuries, argue that the experience of travel, and the business of representing that experience, involved an obligatory engagement with the disturbing perception that travel's pleasures were inseparable from its dangers and ennuis. Contents: Jonathan ANDREWS: Letting Madness Range: travel and mental disorder c. 1700-1900; Malcolm NICOLSON: The Continental Journeys of Andrew Duncan Junior: a physician's education and the international culture of eighteenth-century medicine; Matthew CRASKE: Richard Jago's Edge-Hill Revisited: a traveller's prospect of the health and disease of a succession of national landscapes; Jonathan LAMB: The Rime of the Ancient Mariner': a ballad of the scurvy; Chloe CHARD: Lassitude and Revival in the Warm South: relaxing and exciting travel (1750-1830); Richard WRIGLEY: Pathological Topographies and Cultural Itineraries: mapping mal'aria' in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Rome; Ralph HARRINGTON: The Railway Journey and the Neuroses of Modernity; Tim CRESSWELL: Mobility, Syphilis, and Democracy: pathologizing the mobile body; Harriet DEACON: The Politics of Medical Topography: seeking healthiness at the Cape during the nineteenth century; Russell WEST: Sleepers Wake: André Gide and disease in Travels in the Congo; Condition : very good copy.
