The objective of the essay is to examine the poetry of doctors who are poets in Afrikaans and are canonized poets in the Afrikaans literature. The poetry of ten doctors since 1838 was examined. Furthermore, the medical-scientific reflection in their poetry was reviewed where it appeared to be applicable. As an example of the medical-scientific reflection in poetry, the work of Gilbert Gibson is discussed based on the fact that his poetry represents the best and most extensive example of medical-scientific reflection in Afrikaans poetry. Finally, the poetry of Hendrik Botha is reviewed from a self-reflective angle by specifically comparing it to the poetry of Gilbert Gibson, especially regarding the thematical similarities and specifically the medical-scientific reflection as well as the difference in the approach between these two poets. 2014-12-26T14:05:46Z 2014-12-26T14:05:46Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10092 afr application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
