Publishing and medicine in early modern England

"This book examines the effects of medical publishing on the momentous theoretical and jurisdictional controversies in health care in early modern England.". "The simultaneous collapse of medical orthodoxy and the control of medicine in London by the Royal College of Physicians occurred when reform-minded doctors who were trained on the continent, in tandem with surgeons and apothecaries, successfully challenged the professional monopoly held by Oxbridge-educated elites. This work investigates the book trade, the role it played in medicine, and the impact of the debate itself on the public sphere."--BOOK JACKET.
