Romantic Medicine and the Gothic Imagination: Morbid Anatomies by Laura R. Kremm

Description: Romantic Medicine and the Gothic Imagination by Laura R. Kremmel Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book demonstrates how Gothic literature experiments with and subverts Romantic medical debates to reassess the power of nonnormative bodies within medical, social and political spheres, and to reallocate narrative agency to bodies typically silenced. Publisher Description This book debates a crossover between the Gothic and the medical imagination in the Romantic period. It explores the gore and uncertainty typical of medical experimentation, and expands the possibilities of medical theories in a speculative space by a focus on Gothic novels, short stories, poetry, drama and chapbooks. By comparing the Gothics collection of unsavoury tropes to morbid anatomys collection of diseased organs, the author argues that the Gothics prioritisation of fear and gore gives it access to nonnormative bodies, reallocating medical and narrative agency to bodies considered otherwise powerless. Each chapter pairs a trope with a critical medical debate, granting silenced bodies power over their own narratives: the reanimated corpse confronts fears about vitalism; the skeleton exposes fears about pain; the unreliable corpse feeds on fears of dissection; the devil redirects fears about disability; the dangerous narrative manipulates fears of contagion and vaccination. Author Biography The market for this book covers university students particularly those interested in Gothic Studies, The History of Medicine, and the British Romantic period.
