The Old Physiology in English Literature: A Thesis (1911) is a scholarly work written by Percy Ansell Robin. The book explores the influence of medieval physiology on English literature, specifically focusing on the period between the 13th and 15th centuries. Robin argues that the medieval understanding of the human body and its functions had a significant impact on the development of literary themes and motifs during this time. The book provides a detailed analysis of various literary works, including Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and Langland's Piers Plowman, to illustrate how medieval physiology was incorporated into literature. Robin also discusses the social and cultural context in which these works were produced, providing insights into the intellectual climate of the time. Overall, The Old Physiology in English Literature is a valuable resource for scholars interested in the intersection of literature and medieval science.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
