Medical Thoughts of Shakespeare

Though a short book, "Medical Thoughts of Shakespeare '' by Benjamin Rush Field is still an important piece of work in the field of commentary. Shakespeare's work, while poetic and fantastic, was often grounded in some very real parts of the time period in which it's set and during which it was written. Field took it upon himself to comment on the various hints, accuracies, and inaccuracies of the medical details included in the playwright's work. After reading Field's text, it would be impossible not to look at Shakespear's work with brand new eyes and insights.
