Product Description


This study systematically explores the interconnections between medicine and politics in the early modern era. With the medicalization of governance, the figure of the doctor came into focus, and the doctor's diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic procedures became a model for governmental action, one that helped shape the discourse of political crises, uprisings, and epidemics.

The book series 'Frühe Neuzeit' - founded in 1987 by Jörg Jochen Berns, Gotthard Frühsorge, Klaus Garber, Wilhelm Kühlmann and Jan-Dirk Müller - publishes editions, monographs and collected volumes advancing fundamental research in the field. It does not seek to produce wide-ranging overviews, premature syntheses or pretentious constructions but takes the long route of detailed work and the exploration of submerged traditions.
