Beauty and the Brain
Beyond Imperturbability
While nineteenth-century regular physicians were expected to project a circumscribed affect in the exercise of their duties, they were not always successful in maintaining this performance. Archival sources, particularly the manuscript casebook for private practice, reveal the slippage between the performance of appropriate affect and the felt, interior emotions of the physician. This essay frames the casebook as an affective genre, building on G…
Written of by novelists’
Literary and medical historical scholars have long explored the work of physician-writers and the cross-pollination of literature and medicine. However, few scholars have considered how these interactions have shaped medical manuscripts and the echoes they contain of the emotional contours of the medical encounter. This essay uses the papers of Southern physician Andrew Bowles Holder (1860-1896) to explore how the emotions of the physician were m…
Finding Deborah
Works like Rothman’s that center the patient through the illness narrative help us to disaggregate this data, turning statistics into people. The compelling aspect of illness narratives is that they are “intimate, emotive, and deeply personal” (pp. 1–2).9 Recovering the experiences of individuals as flawed, imperfectly human, even unlikable—finding the Deborahs in our histories—helps us to avoid the trap of constructing idealized, stereotyped ava…
A Propensity to Murder
This essay explores the uses of phrenological theory in the realm of jurisprudence between the mid-1830s and 1850s, focusing in particular on the adoption and circulation of phrenological language within medico-legal circles through this period. The article begins by contextualizing medical jurisprudence in early America; at the same time that phrenology was gaining ground in the United States, theories of medical jurisprudence were in flux. I ne…
The Curious Case of Chastine Cox
This paper explores the intersection of race, law and medical authority in Gilded Age New York through an examination of the trial and execution of Chastine Cox. This case was a media sensation due to two controversies which played out in the courtroom and the court of public opinion. For the public, Cox’s race inflected the debate over the crime and execution. Within the courtroom, however, controversy centred on the interpretation of medical ev…
Bone Rooms
Questions of Genre
The hermaphrodite posed a series of problems for Enlightenment philosophes and physicians, who, when confronted with the evidence of an ambiguously sexed body, were unable to say with any certainty whether the body was male or female, but yet could not quite countenance the existence of “true” hermaphrodites. This lexical and material uncertainty about the nature of the hermaphrodite was reflected in visual representations of such individuals in …
