And there’s the humor of it: Shakespeare and the four humors

3rd floor Gallery, Health Sciences Library

Explore the exhibit online

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) created characters that are among the richest and most humanly recognizable in all of literature. Yet Shakespeare understood human personality in the terms available to his age -- that of the now-discarded theory of the four bodily humors -- blood, bile, melancholy, and phlegm. These four

humors were understood to define peoples’ physical and mental health, and determined their personality, as well.

The language of the four humors pervades Shakespeare's plays and their influence is felt above all in a belief that emotional states are physically determined. Carried by the bloodstream, the four humors bred the core passions of anger, grief, hope, and fear— the emotions conveyed so powerfully in Shakespeare’s comedies and tragedies. Curator Gail Kern Paster explains “The four humors were an early typology for human

personality. Shakespeare uses them, even as he transcends them, to create the vivid characters whose emotions continue to fascinate and delight us.”

In addition to the panels from the National Library of Medicine, the Health Sciences Library will also be displaying the following in the Gallery:

 Artifacts related to bleeding – In the Elizabethan world, blood was seen as having

great power. Bleeding was used to treat inflammation, fever, and all sorts of diseases and injuries. View lancets and other artifacts related to bleeding.

 Browse some of Shakespeare’s works – Copies of The Merchant of

Venice, Hamlet and The Taming of the Shrew will be available. Take a quick break from

studying to read some Shakespeare!

Surviving & Thriving: AIDS, Politics, and Culture

The title Surviving and Thriving comes from a book written in 1987 by and for people with AIDS that insisted people could live with AIDS, not just die from it. This exhibition presents their stories alongside those of others involved in the national AIDS crisis. Listen to them and consider the ever-changing relationship between science and society.

Binding Wounds Pushing Boundaries

Many histories have been written about medical care during the American Civil War, but the participation and contributions of African Americans as nurses, surgeons and

hospital workers have often been overlooked. Binding Wounds, Pushing Boundaries: African Americans in Civil War Medicine is a six-banner traveling exhibition that looks at the men and women who served as surgeons and nurses and how their work as medical providers challenged the prescribed notions of race and gender.

Poignant Humorists: An Exhibit of Rockwell Prints Based on Twain Classics

February 3-28, 2014 | Reading Room, Third Floor

Come relive the mythical carefree days of childhood through Norman Rockwell’s

illustrations of Mark Twain’s classics The Adventures of Tom Sawyerand The Adventures

of Huckleberry Finn, kindly donated to the University of Colorado by Dr. and Mrs. David

R. Gillingham (M.D. – 1963) in memory of Dr. Robert W. Hendee (M.D. – 1961).

Poignant Humorists: Mark Twain and Norman Rockwell

Lecture by Dr. Pamela Laird, Chair of CU Denver's History Department:

To celebrate this generous gift, the Health Sciences Library hosted a lecture on February 13th with Dr. Pamela Laird, wherein she examined these two geniuses. What a great combination! Norman Rockwell illustrating Mark Twain’s boy legends— Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Fun, mischief, danger, and good intentions that sometimes go awry. . . .

Yet, the countless pleasures and insights that these two American humorists have brought us for generations belie the tensions that too often lay behind their pictures and words. Both Twain and Rockwell struggled with defining their personal goals and professional identities in ways that their art sometimes

reveals and sometimes hides.

Dr. Pamela Laird, Professor and Chair of CU Denver’s History Department, will explore both the pleasure and the poignancy that this wonderful print collection brings to us from two of America’s most beloved storytellers.
