{"product_id":"myth-and-misinformation-allan-ingram-9781526166821","title":"Myth and (Mis)Information: Constructing the Medical Professions in Eighteenth- And Nineteenth-Century English Literature and Culture","description":"This collection draws together original scholarship from international contributors on a range of aspects of professional and semi-professional medical work and its relations to British culture. It combines a diverse spectrum of scholarly approaches, from medical history to book history, exploring literary and scientific texts, such as satiric poetry, essays, anatomies, advertisements, and the novel, to shed light on the mythologisation and transmission of medical (mis)information through literature and popular culture. It analyses the persuasive and sometimes deceptive means by which myths, as well as information and beliefs, about medicine and the medical professions proliferated in English literary culture of this period, from early eighteenth-century household remedies to the late nineteenth-century concerns with vaccination that are still relevant today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Allan Ingram\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526166828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526166821\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Allan Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45934083277055,"sku":"9781526166821","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_68991110-79ce-4c62-88b0-98a8f17cf76a.jpg?v=1721790308","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/myth-and-misinformation-allan-ingram-9781526166821","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
