Medicine, Health and the Arts

In recent decades medical humanities and medical history have both emerged as rich and varied sub disciplines. This book presents a collection of specially commissioned essays designed to bring together different approaches to these complex fields. Written by a selection of established and emerging scholars in the field, it embraces a breadth and range of methodological approaches to highlight not only developments in established areas of debate, but also to trace fresh areas of investigation, such as graphic medicine, new methodological approaches to the medical humanities, and the value of the humanities in medical education.
