Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cures of the Diseased: In Forraine Attempts of the English Nation, London, 1598
The kinship of letters and national enterprise has never been more happily illustrated than in the closing years of Elizabeth's reign. The world, grown more spacious, was daily yielding fresh material for the writers whose works form the brightest diadem in our national treasury. Within ten years around the turn of the sixteenth century, a series of nautical adventures in close association with literary productions shewed that if the seaman's romantic life exercised a moulding force on literature, literature in its turn was not without its influence on seacraft.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Elizabethan maritime medicine. It explores the diseases faced by English sailors during their voyages to distant and often treacherous lands, such as the West Indies. The author, a contemporary of the great Elizabethan explorer Richard Hakluyt, examines a range of ailments, from the burning fever known as the Calenture to the debilitating Scurvy. The book's insights are not only medically informative but also offer a window into the cultural anxieties of the era, where exotic diseases were often attributed to supernatural forces or to the sins of man. The author's descriptions of the diseases, their causes, and their treatments provide a vivid account of the challenges faced by sailors, and demonstrate a remarkable awareness of the importance of hygiene, nutrition, and other preventative measures in protecting health. This book is a unique historical document that sheds light on the early stages of tropical medicine and the medical practices of a bygone era. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
