Description: A Chinese Physician is the portrait of Wang Ji, a sixteenth-century medical writer and clinical practitioner. Three methodologies - loosely termed socioeconomic/biographic, textual analysis, and gender analysis - and a variety of sources, from hagiographical biographies to medical case histories, are used to tell three very different but complementary stories about what it was to practise medicine in sixteenth-century China.
