This volume of Studies in Eighteenth Century Culture offers a cluster of essays on literature and medicine, Allegories of Healing, that consider at length the different ways the physician-patient relationship was configured in France and Great Britain. Other essays discuss the unspoken politics of ocular observation, family relations and family values in Defoe and Frances Burney, ideals of polite marriage in France, portraiture as a record of the career of actress Sarah Siddons, period contexts for the works of dramatist Joanna Baillie and novelist Maria Edgeworth, and the phenomenology of rereading Richardson. The volume concludes with a reconsideration by Robert Wokler and Bruce Mazlish of Ernst Cassirer's study, The Philosophy of the Enlightenment.
