Book Description Paperback. Condition: Gut. XIV, 289 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Bleistiftanmerkung auf Schmutztitel, Seiten angegilbt, sonst guter Zustand / pencil annotation on half title, pages yellowed, otherwise good condition. - "I came softly into the room, and in a sweet delirium slipped into bed and was immediately clasped in her snowy arms and pressed to her milk-white bosom ." Just another night in the life of James Boswell, English literature s greatest camp-follower, but only six days later, "then came sorrow. Too, too plain was Signor Gonorrhea. Yet I could scarce believe it " At least he was getting used to it: Boswell s version of "safe copulation" - a sheep s bladder in a brothel and too drunk to care - was to bring him 16 more doses in the remaining 28 years of his life. Swinburne also had a life of pain, only he rather liked it, and what the Earl of Rochester liked most, he was always too excited to enjoy Afflictions, problems and downright perversions: these form the subject of pathologist William B. Ober s fascinating essays. He explores the madness of poets, the illness of doctors, the suspicious death of a Grub Street hack. What s really going on in Lady Chatterley? What did Socrates drink? And what was the real source of Keats s "drowsy numbness"? Dr Ober is uniquely qualified for these investigations, bringing a century s medical advances to bear on the distresses and dark secrets of some of the world s greatest and unluckiest writers. / CONTENTS List of Illustrations Preface 1 Boswell s Clap 2 Swinburne s Masochism: Neuropathology and Psychopathology 3 Lady Chatterley s What? 4 Drowsed with the Fume of Poppies: Opium and John Keats 5 Madness and Poetry: A Note on Collins, Cowper, and Smart 6 Chekhov among the Doctors: The Doctor s Dilemma 7 William Carlos Williams, M.D.: Physician as Poet 8 The Earl of Rochester and Ejaculatio Praecox 9 Thomas Shadwell: His Exitus Revis d 10 Did Socrates Die of Hemlock Poisoning?
