• W168880379 abstract "IN THE MEDIGAL TREATISE A Briefe Discourse of a disease called Suffocation of Mother (1603), Edward Jorden is particularly descriptive about distinctive symptomology and uncanny appearance of undead women, conscientiously inscribing his report within classical tradition of medicine. While recent scholarship has found Jorden's work increasingly noteworthy for exploring facets of minefield that is early modern medical praxis, (1) it is yet necessary to quote 1603 text at some length so that full extent of interest in this peculiar subject of female undead may be more readily apparent: in that Symptom which is called Syncope or swounding, very image of death, where pulse is scarcely or not at all perceyved; breath or respiration cleane gone [...] lying like a dead corpse three or foure houres togither, and sometimes two or three whole dayes without sense, motion, breath, [external] heate, or any signe of life at all (like as wee see Snakes and other creatures to lie all winter, as if they were dead, under earth) insomuch as diverse errors have beene committed in laying foorth such for dead, which have afterwards been found to have life in them, and have risen up in their burials, whereupon there have beene laws enacted, as Mercurialis reporteth, that no woman which was subject to this disease should be buried until she had beene three dayes dead.... Plinie maketh mention out of Heraclides, of a woman who for seven dayes together lay for dead in a fit of and was restored againe to life: which (saieth Marcellus Donatus) is not to be thought a fabulous tale, seeing it is not repugnant to rules of Philosophie and Physicke. And Galen making mention of verie same hystorie under name Apnaea, discourseth of reasons of it.... Many more examples to this end could I produce out of Authenti call writers, and late experiences.., but these may suffice to shew how wonderfully vitall facultie is overthrowne in this disease. (2) Women suffering from uterine disease known as suffocation or strangulation of (or fits of the mother, and all of other variants), have a special place in early modern medical and literary history and, moreover, in imagination. These women present most spectacular of all symptoms available to category of hysterical, with their rigid limbs' paroxysmal contractions, falling into syncopic fits, refrigerated frigidity of temperature, moribund appearance, and breathing so barely perceptible that it takes a practiced doctor indeed to discern truly dead woman from those merely suffocated and capable of reviving. Simply put, female revivification cases center on female hysterics whose uterine maladies--usually displaced wombs--create symptoms that cause others to believe they are dead. It is a commonplace of criticism to state that early modern medicine believed in a womb that wanders unmoored around female body and is responsible for choking sensation described as predominant symptom of the mother, but few have taken trouble to define mechanistic models for illnesses of womb that existed in Renaissance as set apart from much later psychoanalytic definitions of hysteria--the term hysteria is not even available to English until 1801, though hysterical is. (3) Even fewer note disjunctiveness of literary analyses that make a gesture to historicity by first citing antique theories of wandering wombs to preface discussions of Shakespeare's or Middleton's works and then discuss hysteric in psychoanalytic terms, a connective logic properly outside Renaissance-specific modes of representation or etiological models. If we pay attention to early modern period's different set of representational strategies for depicting a category of illness properly identified broadly as hysterical, a new set of accompanying literary representations comes to light that looks quite different from what we would normally expect from a hysteric: not a psychosomatic disorder but a malady caused by a displaced and freely wandering uterus wreaking havoc upon a woman's body wherever it presses upon other organs or blocks critical passages. …" @default.
