About this Item

Title

  • Misery to mirth : recovery from illness in early modern England

Summary

  • Misery to Mirth aims to change our thinking about health in early modern England. Drawing on sources such as diaries and medical texts, it shows that recovery did exist as a concept, and that it was a widely-reported event. The study examines how patients, and their loved ones, dealt with overcoming a seemingly fatal illness.-- Source other tha Library of Congress.
