Danielle Mollie Stambler (2022) “An Excelent Good Remedi”: Medical Recipes as Ethos-Building Tactical Technical Communication in Early Modern England, Technical Communication Quarterly, DOI: 10.1080/10572252.2021.2021451

Abstract: This article examines how nonprofessionals in early modern England used tactical technical communication and rhetorical strategies to build medical knowledge and healthcare expertise. Using a feminist ethos and tactical technical communication lens, this article details a content analysis study of 4,045 handwritten medical recipes from England dated between 1540 and 1860. Findings from the study extend tactical technical communication by examining non-digital/non-internet spaces and how extra-institutional nonprofessionals build ethos and expertise.
