Most of these occasional pieces, published over a period of almost 20 years and brought together for the first time in this volume, explore the interrelationships between neurology and literature, hence "neuroliterature". Both literary and clinical accounts share narrative structure, and the former may inform a clinician's understanding of the patient experience of disease. Creative writers without medical training may describe neurological disorders based on their careful observations of the human condition, permitting a fruitful exchange of ideas in this interdisciplinary subject area. This book may be of interest to both practising clinicians and students of literature.

Neuroliterature 2 Biography, Semiology, Miscellany gathers occasional and more substantive pieces written around the theme of medical history in the 17th 18th and 19th centuries including biographical pieces, considerations of the semiology of terms used in clinical medicine, and a miscellany of pieces on related medical topics. It will be of interest to those who are interested in literary portrayals of neurological disorders and builds upon and supplements Andrew Larner's previous volume (Neuroliterature. Patients, Doctors, Diseases. Literary perspectives on disorders of the nervous system) published in 2019.
