During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries science had barely begun to make its mark on the practice of medicine in England. Most illnesses and injuries continued to be treated with traditional home remedies or general advice provided by the local apothecary. Even though the contributions of Freud and Jung toward the understanding of the mind-body connection in illness lay far in the future, Jane Austen frequently illustrates her perception of the intertwining of physical and mental health which today is called somatization. Sickness and accident fill the pages of Austen's novels, not so much as a device to portray realistic conditions of the Regency period, but as a literary tool to portray character and to further plot. Even characters who otherwise had very little power use their illness or injury to manipulate others. Austen also employs sickness and injuries as a way for women to display their power or as a means for men to discover that power. In Sense and Sensibility, the author contrasts not only Elinor and Marianne's personalities, but also their physical and mental constitutions. Marianne's illness provides an example of Austen's recognition that mental stress can result in physical illness. In Pride and Prejudice, Mrs. Bennet's "nerves" provide a backdrop for an abundance of comic situations and dialogue, but also illustrate the use of social manipulation as a means to gain power in a time when women were mostly powerless, even over their own lives. Emma presents the enigma that is Mr. Woodhouse (is he simply a valetudinarian, or is he Austen's master social manipulator?) and a sickly, stressed young woman named Jane Fairfax. In Persuasion, Austen's last completed novel, the author includes two serious falls, a hypochondriac, and an invalid with a long-term disability, among other unfortunate events and characters which are surprisingly fruitful from a literary standpoint. It has been said that, without good health, one has nothing. Perhaps in Jane Austen's novels, the cliche could be modified to say that, without subplots of illness and injury, these timeless works would lose much of their richness and depth.
