Much like how an author constructs meaning around fictional events, a doctor or patient narrates the course of an illness and treatment. In what ways have literary and medical storytelling intersected with and shaped each other? In Medical Storyworlds, Elena Fratto examines the relationship between literature and medicine at the turn of the twentieth century-a period when novelists were experimenting with narrative form and the modern medical establishment was taking shape. She traces how Russian writers such as Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Bulgakov responded to contemporary medical and public health prescriptions, placing them in dialogue with French and Italian authors including Romains and Svevo and such texts as treatises by Paul Broca and Cesare Lombroso. In nuanced readings of these works, Fratto reveals how authors and characters question the rhetoric and authority of medicine and public health in telling stories of mortality, illness, and well-being. In so doing, she argues, they provide alternative ways of thinking about the limits and possibilities of human agency and free will. Bridging the medical humanities, European literary studies, and Slavic studies, Medical Storyworlds shows how narrative theory and canonical literary texts offer a new lens on today's debates in medical ethics and bioethics"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Literature and medicine. 650 0 $a Medicine in literature. 650 0 $a Health in literature. 650 0 $a Death in literature. 650 0 $a Russian literature $y 19th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Russian literature $y 20th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Italian literature $y 20th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a French literature $y 20th century $x Themes, motives. 650 7 $a Death in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00888697 650 7 $a French literature $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934750 650 7 $a Health in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00953084 650 7 $a Italian literature $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00980695 650 7 $a Literature and medicine. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000080 650 7 $a Medicine in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01015167 650 7 $a Russian literature $x Themes, motives. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01102357 648 7 $a 1800-1999 $2 fast 776 08 $i Online version: $a Fratto, Elena. $t Medical storyworlds $d New York : Columbia University Press, 2021 $z 9780231554503 $w (DLC) 2021016643 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031035.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=58F2F698DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
