Editorial Reviews
Review
"For students this is an excellent overview of ealry modern Eyropean medical history, and for the academic who is a non-specialist in this field it serves as a valuable introduction." Jrnl of early Modern History

Product Description
Medicine and Society in Early Modern Europe, offers undergraduate students a concise introduction to a subject rich in historical excitement and interest. Mary Lindemann, a distinguished scholar of the history of medicine, writes with exceptional clarity and examines medicine from a social and cultural perspective rather than a narrowly scientific one. She focuses on the experience of illness and on patients and folk healers as much as on the rise of medical science, doctors and hospitals.
