Partly as a result of their literary activities, the achievements of male physicians, surgeons, and apothecaries are frequently well-documented, yet the same cannot be said of women engaging in medical work. This essay argues that eighteenth-century women's medical practice extended into their creative writing, with numerous women writers utilising poetry as a central form of authoritative expression on matters of health. Verse offered opportunities to scrutinise, advise on, and influence medical knowledge and practice. Print and manuscript works by authors Jane Barker (1652-1732), Martha Hodges (fl.1675-1725), and Susanna Blamire (1747-94), serve a variety of functions, including arguing for women's medical education, reimagining the workings of the body, and advocating holistic forms of practice that unite physical and emotional forms of care.</p>","PeriodicalId":55946,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies","volume":"46 1","pages":"21-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1754-0208.12869","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43435020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reflecting a historical moment of complex and uneven transition, these texts present models of blood that are variously orthodox, idiosyncratic, and imaginative. Representations of bloodletting, in particular, show doctors and laypeople, including women, contesting, welcoming, and orchestrating the therapy, which could both injure and soothe. Taken together, the texts this essay explores reinforce, refute, and enlarge humoral, mechanist, rational–empirical, vitalist, and other master paradigms, commonly conceiving body, mind, spirit, and earth as intricately connected and illustrating how medical ideas in this period were formed not merely through the consensus of an elite group of male authorities but also through the co-existence of a range of variable, oftentimes conflicting, theories; through dissent and debate; through the voices of non-experts; and through a reliance on the creative imagination.</p>","PeriodicalId":55946,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies","volume":"46 1","pages":"41-57"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42722634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
