A second stream of medical humanities researchers trained in literary and cultural studies approach the study of illness narrative from a different perspective and so with different tools. Here, textual and intertextual, aesthetic and historical detail come sharply into focus, with close- readings of lengthy and polished autobiographical, biographical and fictional accounts of illness teasing out the complexities of these projected worlds (Belling; Ingram et al). Where these divergent approaches to illness narrative might otherwise remain largely indifferent to each other's existence, their intersection in the field of medical humanities affirms shared interests in treating the messy and complex subjective experience of illness as something distinct from the biological functioning of disease, and so in ensuring that these experiences and the ways we come to communicate them are given the recognition they deserve.
