Table of ContentsReviews'Weston has identified some fascinating material at an interesting period in European medicine and composed a valuable contribution to medical history.' Vesalius 'This work fits well into the popular trend of social history, demonstrating medical practice in action, rather than described in theoretical texts. One of the greatest benefits of Weston's work is his synthesis between patient and physician perspectives. Most historical works focus either on the perspective of the professional medical worker, or the patient. Correspondence necessitates two parts, emphasizing the element of dialogue in early modern medicine. Weston allows time for both voices and demonstrates the importance of their reciprocal relationship.'
