Preface
oals of the Book, Audience and Background, How to Use G This Book Literature and Medicine: A Practical and Pedagogical Guide is a book that grows out of more than 18 years of teaching and collaboration between the authors, Professor Ronald Schleifer, a George Lynn Cross Distinguished Research Professor of twentieth-century literature and culture, literary aesthetics, and semiotics at the University of Oklahoma, and Dr. Jerry Vannatta, a David Ross Boyd Professor of Internal Medicine (retired), former Executive Dean of the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine with a long career as a practicing physician, a researcher, and an award-winning classroom professor.
