Reviews

An important collection of fundamental essays, which will do much to make Henry Daniel impossible to ignore as a major figure in the history of both English medicine and English vernacular prose, and to bring about a rethinking of both. Let the Daniel revival continue! - Nicholas Watson, Henry B. and Anne M. Cabot Professor of English Literature, Harvard University This excellent collection opens the medical writings of Henry Daniel to new scholarly audiences. Working at the interface of Latin and Middle English, Daniel was a pioneer in bringing learned medicine into the vernacular. The essays gathered here illuminate the contexts for Daniel's trailblazing corpus and its legacies. They will find grateful readers in medical history, philology, manuscript studies, and literary criticism. Sarah Star is to be commended for a resource that maps what we know of Henry Daniel as well as the paths still to be explored. - Julie Orlemanski, Associate Professor of English, University of Chicago This volume is the superb culmination of the work of scholars who have spent decades studying Daniel and his treatise. Its availability will have a major impact on both the study of vernacular medicine in medieval England and on the importance of the learned traditions of friars in science and medicine. - Linda Ehrsam Voigts, Professor Emerita of English Language and Literature, University of Missouri-Kansas City
