Description “This study of the writings of Dr. George Cheyne (1671-1743), read within the larger body of late 17th- and early 18th-century scientific and medical texts, examines the means by which a typical practitioner of the day sought to legitimate himself through his publications. The dissertation operates under the guiding principle that works of physiology, pathology, medical theory, and medical polemics are literature, subject to the same questions about genre, audience, plot, theme, character, and rhetorical strategies that we typically ask of imaginative writings. It seeks to apply the methodologies of literary criticism to the works of Cheyne and other practitioner-writers of the day.” Cited in Diss. Abstr. Int. A 53 (1992): 815. Univ. Microfilms order no. 92-22012.
