Conclusion Appendix I Appendix II Bibliography IndexReviewsBy showing how Six's work as a druggist helped to shape his experience of the world, Spaans is able to weave together his interests and poetry, mind and body, head and hand. For historians of early modern medicine and empire the work will be as important as for scholars of Dutch culture and literature. It is an impressive achievement. - Harold J Cook, John F Nickoll Professor of History, Brown University Author InformationDr. Ronny Spaans is Associate Professor in Nordic Literature at Nord University.
