内容説明・目次

内容説明

In Suffering in Paradise, Totaro provides a unique and timely discussion of the bubonic plague as it shaped literature in England from 1500 through the first half of the eighteenth century. During this time, the bubonic plague crept not only into bodies, but also into church sermons, medical treatises, royal proclamations and literary lives and works. Within the experience and accounts of bubonic plague, men and women found their own understandings of the body, of the human relationship with nature, and of the degree to which they had faith in their nation and their God.
