Plague and Pestilence in Literature and Art

The Smile of Truth
To teach the truth smilingly was, during the Renaissance, a frequently expressed goal among prose writers and poets such as Erasmus, Berni, Ronsard, Rabelais, and du Bellay, who adopted an ironic posture within their mock encomia in order to refer the reader beyond the realm of the literary structure. In this book Annette Tomarken reconstructs the history of the classical satirical eulogy as it was revived, expanded, and finally adapted to new purposes in Renaissance literature. Tracing the development of this type of paradox from its classic roots through the Neo-Latin, Italian, and French mock encomia, Tomarken examines its various forms in the Renaissance, including the Pliade "hymne-blas...
The Royal Touch in Early Modern England
First modern analysis of the custom of the "royal touch" in the Tudor and Stuart reigns.
The King's Bed
To refer to the private life of Charles II is to abuse the adjective. His personal life was anything but private. His amorous liaisons were largely conducted in royal palaces surrounded by friends, courtiers and literally hundreds of servants and soldiers. Gossip radiated throughout the kingdom. Charles spent most of his wealth and his intellect on gaining and keeping the company of women, from the lowest sections of society such as the actress Nell Gwyn to the aristocratic Louise de Kérouaille. Some of Charles' women played their part in the affairs of state, colouring the way the nation was run. Don Jordan and Michael Walsh take us inside Charles' palace, where we will meet court favourites, amusing confidants, advisors jockeying for political power, mistresses past and present as well as key figures in his inner circle such as his 'pimpmasters' and his personal pox doctor. The astonishing private life of Charles II reveals much about the man he was and why he lived and ruled as he did. The King's Bed tells the compelling story of a king ruled by his passion.

What is a Sneeze/Sternutation? History, Epidemiology, Prevention, Culture, Sexuality, Complications etc.
What is a Sneeze/Sternutation? History, Epidemiology, Prevention, Culture, Sexuality, Complications etc. Sneezing is a coordinated protective respiratory reflex which occurs due to stimulation of the upper respiratory tract, particularly the nasal cavity. Despite being a common phenomenon suffered the world over, little is known about this reflex action, which is sometimes a sign associated with various medical conditions. The sneeze reflex frequently accompanies rhinitis of allergic or nonallergic origin. Sneezing can also arise due to bright light or sun (ACHOO syndrome), physical stimulants of the trigeminal nerve, psychogenic or central nervous system pathologies and even due to a full stomach (snatiation reflex) or a sexual ideation. Thus an attempt has been made in this Booklet to review its Etiology, History, Epidemiology, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, Prevention, Complications etc. along with Illustrations for better understanding. …Dr. H.
