Megan Coyer makes an important contribution to the study of the cross-fertilization of medicine and literature in literary periodicals.--Jolien Gijbels Journal of European Periodical Studies, 4.2 (Winter 2019)

"This excellent book traces the emergence of medical humanism in the early nineteenth-century Scottish popular press. It is a model of scholarship, bringing into view a body of popular medical writing, distinctive in its Scottish identity and in its insistence that the oppositions of literature and science can be countered.--Sharon Ruston, Chair in Romanticism, Lancaster University Megan Coyer makes an important contribution to the study of the cross-fertilization of medicine and literature in literary periodicals.--Jolien Gijbels ""Journal of European Periodical Studies, 4.2 (Winter 2019)"" Coyer provides very important new observations and interpretations that substantially broaden the understanding of the mutually constitutive interrelation between medicine and literature and that are by no means valid only for Blackwood's early-nineteenth-century Edinburgh.--Antje Dallmann, Humboldt University of Berlin ""Centre for Medical Humanities, Durham University"""
