Documents the way medical discourse consolidates a body susceptible to medical authority that is then represented in the works of Romantic era poets. After surveying trends in Romantic-era medicine and analyzing the body's treatment in key texts by Wordsworth and Joanna Baillie, the author moves quickly to his central subject - the Poet-Physician.
