Descrizione


In "Isaac Bickerstaff, Physician and Astrologer," Richard Sir Steele offers a captivating satirical narrative that explores the intersection of medicine, astrology, and early 18th-century society. Through the lens of the fictional character Isaac Bickerstaff, Steele critiques contemporary medical practices and the credulity of patients toward astrologers and quack doctors. The book's witty dialogues and engaging prose are shaped by the burgeoning Enlightenment, which questioned traditional beliefs and emphasized reason and empirical evidence. Steele's work serves as both entertainment and social commentary, skillfully blending humor with incisive observations about human nature and societal follies. Richard Sir Steele was a prominent figure in the early days of periodical literature, best known for his contributions to journalism and drama.
