About this book

Open Access

In early modern poetry, experiences of illness develop a historically unique presence: fever, gout, and syphilis define the manifold ailments that take shape in verse. In dialogue with the theology and the history of medicine, this book inquires into the reasons behind this interest and writes a history of human frailty on the basis of – for the most part – hitherto unanalyzed material.
