The first major study of the relationship between Scottish Romanticism and medical
culture. In the early nineteenth century, Edinburgh was the leading centre of medical
education and research in Britain. It also laid claim to a thriving periodical culture.
Literature and Medicine in the Nineteenth-Century Periodical Press investigates how
Romantic periodicals cultivated innovative literary forms, ideologies and discourses
that reflected and shaped medical culture in the nineteenth century. It examines several
medically-trained contributors to Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, the most influential
literary periodical of the time, and draws upon extensive archival and bibliographical
research to reclaim these previously neglected medico-literary figures. Situating
their work in relation to developments in medical and periodical culture, Megan Coyer's
book advances our understanding of how the nineteenth-century periodical press cross-fertilised
medical and literary ideas
