Early Modern Medicine

3 credits

This course explores the interrelationship of medicine, culture, and English literature during the medical "revolution" of the long seventeenth century. Focusing on digestion, we will examine such topics as the relationship between diet and health, belly and mind, and intersections of medical discourse with discourses of gender, ethnicity, and class. ***Prerequisite of ENGL 100 and either ENGL 110 or completion of 48 credit hours.***
