Shakespeare as a geneticist.

There are frequent allusions in Shakespeare's plays to physical and mental characteristics and qualities of individuals that often reflect genetic and related insights, ideas and implications with a bearing on the determination of these phenotypes. Quotations from the plays with comments are presented here to indicate varied perceptions in these regards that Shakespeare brilliantly conveyed some 400 years ago through many of his 'dramatis personae'.

The layman's view of orthodontics: a literary review.

It is probably true to say that the masticatory apparatus attracts proportionally greater attention than any other part of the body. Evidence that this is so is provided, not only by the degree of specialisation within the dental profession, but by the frequency with which references to teeth and dentistry crop up in literature. Generations of biographers, novelists, poets, playwrights and essayists have written about their dental experiences and included the dentition in describing the facial appearance of characters, factual and fictional. The literary extracts in this article, culled from an extensive collection, refer to orthodontics. They provide a fascinating insight into the patient's perspective on that speciality and make entertaining reading.

The humanities and nursing: using popular literature as a means of understanding human experience.

The rapid advances in technology during the twentieth century have encouraged science and technology to be the main focus of the nursing curricula. The effect of this focus tends to hinder the importance of the human condition. This paper discusses the benefits of including the humanities, particularly but not exclusively the inclusion of literary study in nursing curricula. It is argued that the study of popular literature by students of nursing provides them with the opportunity to understand and to appreciate life experiences. This assists them in gaining awareness and sensitivity to the many physical and psychological components of people's reactions to health, illness and hospitalization. The power of literary study to promote an appreciation of the hurt and pain of disease is considered by the authors to be an effective teaching tool within a comprehensive programme for students of nursing.
