This study focuses on two critical figures in late eighteenth-century America--the physician Benjamin Rush and the journalist William Cobbett-- as they clashed in one of the most important trials of post-revolutionary America, a libel trial that pitted medicine against the press, republicanism against federalism, and privacy against the public welfare.

Linda Myrsiades is professor emeritus of English and Comparative Literature at West Chester University. She has most recently published Medical Culture in Revolutionary America: Feuds, Duels, and a Court Martial (2009).
