By Shakespeare's time, the debate over legitimate medical practice had become vociferous and public. The powerful College of Physicians fought hard to discredit some and rein in others, but many resisted, denied, or ignored its authority. Dramatists did not fail to notice the turmoil, nor did they fail to comment on it - and no one commented more profoundly on stage than William Shakespeare. Going beyond the usual questions posed about Shakespeare and medicine, this study, which won the first Jay L. Halio Prize in Shakespeare and Early Modern Studies, explores Shakespeare's response to the early modern struggle for control of English medical practice. It does not rehearse the fundamentals of early modern medical thought such as the humoral system that have been more than adequately covered numerous times elsewhere. Instead, it undertakes a reading of popular English medical tracts in an effort to reconstruct the terms in which medical practitioners of all kinds were understood. injury were busy hearing such stories, and in a time of spectacular outbreaks of infectious disease, in a time of religious transition, and in a time of shifting modes of political power, such stories held especial fascination.

Doctors are commonly seen characters on the stage in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. In Shakespeare’s plays there are nine medical practitioners, among which six of them are professional physicians. This thesis is to explore how Shakespeare deploys the conventional traits and dramatic functions of stage doctors in his own doctor characters to serve different dramaturgical themes. Physicians in the sixteenth and seventeenth century occupied the top of the hierarchy of medical practitioners. They strove to maintain their social and intellectual superiority, and were often perceived as profit-oriented and avaricious. Stage doctors share certain traits, such as deferent, conservative and greedy. Doctors usually play minor parts in plays and some of them are assigned the tasks of poisoning by court members. The stereotyped correlation between a doctor and treason involving poisoning helps to shape a doctor character of this kind. The outcome of a crime, whether a doctor kills or not, serves as genre markers of the plays: when a doctor kills it turns to be a tragedy, when he does not it tends to be a comedy or tragicomedy. Shakespeare uses doctors’ conventional traits and their social and intellectual authority to assist the flow of the plot. In “The Merry Wives in Windsor”, Dr. Caius’ pompousness and arrogance, as well as his social and intellectual authority being ridiculed, contribute to the comedy of the play. The nameless doctor in “The Two Noble Kinsmen” successfully cures the Jailer’s Daughter and reinserts her into her expected social position. His authority is normalized and endorsed, indicating the consolidation of a society. In “Macbeth”, which is full of medical images and metaphors, a doctor appears near the end of the play as a concrete manifestation of the decline of the political body of Scotland. Key Words: physicians, stage doctors, genre marker, body politics, disease.

This compilation of 740 quotations of medical interest grew out of a thorough reading and re-reading of William Shakespeare’s 38 plays, 154 sonnets, and the several long poems. The emotional and physical problems of his characters are frequently mentioned in the plays, and disease and remedy are often used as metaphor to clarify non-medical situations. Although the science of Medicine has changed enormously in recent times, the humanistic aspects have not. Shakespeare’s comments on illness and its effects are still quite pertinent. His unique insight, archaic style, and creative language bring a certain freshness and charm to our continuing contemplation of the art of Medicine. Dr. Foster’s limited interspersed comments are meant to provide a background picture of Elizabethan times and Medicine and, where needed, to remind the reader of the setting of the quotation in the plays and poems.

Not illustrated. 1884 edition. Excerpt: ... that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, and fill me, from the crown to the toe, top-full of direst cruelty; make thick my blood stop up th' access and passage to remorse; that no compunctious visitings of nature shake my fell purpose, nor keep peace between th* effect and it. Come to my woman's breasts, and take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers, wherever in your sightless sub stances you wait on nature's mischief. Come, thick night, and pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell, that my keen knife see not the wound it makes, nor heaven peep through the blankness of the dark to cry, "Hold, hold!" Of this kind of cases we find ample records. I will quote from Deboismont: "Dom. Duhaget was of a good family in Gascony: he had been a captain in the infantry for twenty years; I never knew any one possessing any more amiability or piety. We had," he related, "a friar at, where I was before I came to Pierre Ch&tel, of a melancholy disposition and a gloomy character, who was known to be a somnambulist. Sometimes, during the paroxysms, he would leave his cell, and re-enter it alone; at others, he would lose himself, and have to be brought back. His case had been treated, and as the returns were very rare, it had ceased to attract attention. One night, I was sitting up beyond my usual hour for retiring. I was engaged in looking over some papers in my desk, when I heard the door open, aud saw the friar enter, in a complete state of somnambulism. His eyes were open, but fixed (How truthfully Shakespeare notes this fact in the case of Lady M.); he had on only the garments in which he slept, and held a large knife in his hand. He went straight to my bed; appeared to satisfy himself by feeling, that I was really there; after which he struck...
