dc.description.abstractIn the second half of the seventeenth century, irregular practitioners of medicine were a common feature of London life, and became a social phenomenon attacked not only by Royal College physicians, but also by satirists in their pamphlets. This article studies a particular speech attributed to a self-proclaimed “High German Doctor” which appeared in various and sundry broadsides and collections of quacks’ harangues, in the light of an until now unacknowledged source. The latter, a parody of a quack’s speech embedded in an anonymous satirical pamphlet printed in 1676, is originally presented as a specimen of quacks’ deceitful discourse. The fact that this parody was rewritten and expanded towards the end of the century, and that the new version was later reprinted several times and with different illustrations, testifies not only to English society’s favourable reception of this sort of satirical products, but also to the continuity of quacks’ activities throughout the eighteenth century.eng
dc.description.abstractNa segunda metade do século XVII, a vida social em Londres caracterizavase pela forte presença de charlatães que se tornaram, gradualmente, um verdadeiro fenómeno social. Este fenómeno foi frequentemente objecto dos ataques dos médicos do Royal College of Physicians e também da crítica de inúmeros escritores satíricos. O presente artigo estuda um discurso particular atribuído a um charlatão que se autodefine como “High German Doctor”, conforme as várias aparições que fez e que estão documentadas em folhas estampadas e em muitas colectâneas de arengas de charlatães, à luz de uma fonte até agora ainda não identificada. Este discurso, paródia das palavras de um charlatão incluídas num panfleto satírico anónimo imprimido em 1676, é originariamente descrito como um exemplo do falar enganador dos charlatães. O facto de esta paródia ter sido reescrita e expandida no final do século XVII, e o facto de a nova versão ter sido muitas vezes reimpressa posteriormente e acompanhada de diferentes ilustrações, atesta que, não só a sociedade inglesa acolhia favoravelmente tais produtos satíricos, como também confirma a constante presença de charlatães no século XVIII.por
