Physicians and Their Literary Work

Our monograph is an attempt to connect the study of world and Romanian literature with medicine, completing the research up to now with a new perspective on the way in which the medical studies of the analyzed authors influenced their literary creation. This research brings into discussion important and pressing aspects of medicine and literature and shows how in the modern world the two can intertwine. We set out to analyze the literature produced by professionals of medicine. By way of multidisciplinary approach, the author has analyzed the way the doctors were able to build a system of thought and creation with its own identity in the horizon of literature. Transforming into missionaries of culture and by combining custom and the most recent scientific conquest, doctors best respond to the desire of complete intellectuals. The proposed work is addressed both to professionals in the field of philology and to doctors who want to understand how artistic creativity can change their way of perceiving the human being.
