Long description:
John Keats was a licensed apothecary and general practitioner of medicine. This book addresses the four fundamental intellectual issues of Romantic medicine - the physician's task, the meaning of life, the constituents of health and prescriptions of disease, and evolution of matter and mind - as they find focus and expression in poetry and aesthetic theory. The book traces the genesis of these issues and shows the reason for their immediate relevance to the Romantic period as a whole. It identifies them as the primary philosophical counters of the artistic and scientific debates of the revolutionary period and discusses them and their ideologies in the context of the era's belief in the art of healing as the foremost humanistic discipline.
`This is an exciting book in which the author tries to relate Keats' poetry to his experience as a medical student and practitioner. The result is very interesting, casting new light on Romantic medicine and the sciences associated with it. ...It is hoped that readers of this book will be made aware of the deep metaphorical context of the science of the time - a crucial one in the appearance of modern, specialized and professional science - and also of the way scientific ideas were involved in imaginative literature. It deserves to be widely read.'
