This is a unique and authoritative account of the history of French medicine (1500-1789). Physicians, surgeons and apothecaries are centre-stage, but quacks, charlatans, wise women, midwives, herbalists and others have also been brought into the analysis and their ideas and activities are set within the broader cultural, social and political context.
The Medical World of Early Modern France recounts the history of medicine in France between the sixteenth century and the French Revolution. Physicians, surgeons and apothecaries are centre-stage, and the study provides an overview of long-term changes in their ideas about medicine and their craft. Other denizens of the medical world - quacks, charlatans, wise women, midwives, herbalist and others - are also brought into the analysis, which is set within the broader context of social, economic, demographic and cultural change. The breadth of the chronological and analytical framework, and the depth of the archival research behind it, makes this a unique account of the evolution of medical ideas and practices in one of the major countries of early modern Europe.
