Patients, Power and the Poor in Eighteenth-Century Bristol

Bag om Patients, Power and the Poor in Eighteenth-Century Bristol

In early modern England, housewives, clergymen, bloodletters, herb women, and patients told authoritative tales about the body. By the end of the eighteenth century, however, medicine had begun to drown out these voices. This book argues that changes in the relationship between rich and poor underlay this rise in medicine's authority.
