Transcendent Ecologies: Protestantism and Mid-Nineteenth-Century Birth Medicine.

      ab: This essay investigates the role of religion in the development of modern obstetrics, forging a connection between rhetoric of health and medicine and rhetoric of religion. To study this convergence, I combine Kenneth Burke's "terministic screens" with Jenny Edbauer's "rhetorical ecologies." In particular, I analyze a variety of mid-nineteenth-century texts on midwifery/obstetrics to demonstrate how writers communicated within a transcendent ecology. Ultimately, I show that Protestant terms and beliefs were essential to not only sectarian, but also allopathic arguments about medical intercession in childbirth.
