Volume 223 Issue 9, 10 November 2017

The Dentistry in Literature series: Vive Moi! An Autobiography

For the cover series of this volume (223) of the BDJ, we have chosen to illustrate various instances where dentistry or teeth feature in literature. A wide range of sources have been considered – from well-known 'great works' to more obscure authors, older texts to modern novels and from mentions of dentists to descriptions of some very unusual teeth!

This issue features Vive Moi which is an autobiography by Irish writer Sean O'Faolain. In the book O'Faolain's Aunt Maggie is described as a formidable lady: 'tall and strong-shouldered, with a round, bellowing voice that you could hear two fields away, and teeth that could plough the earth; a dark rough woman whom nobody would want to cross'.
