Dear Reader,
I hope you are as excited as we are by some of the new
publications we have on offer in this catalogue. Our
monograph series Studies for the Society for the Social
History of Medicine (pp. 37) in particular has plenty to offer
the scholar of medical history. For those with a particular
interest in the early-modern period our Body, Gender and
Culture series (pp. 78) is especially relevant, with titles
such as Infanticide and Abortion in Early Modern Germany
placing such events in to their wider social and legal context.
The analysis of the wider social and cultural implications of
medicine is a great strength of our list. This is shown clearly in
our Science and Culture in the Nineteenth Century series
(pp. 910). The essays in Victorian Medicine and Popular
Culture explore how the rise of scientific medicine impacted
on various aspects of society, for example how medicine and
the medical profession came to be portrayed in crime fiction of
the period.

Bacteria in Britain,
18801939
Rosemary Wall
Focusing on the years between the
identification of bacteria and the
production of antibiotic drugs, Wall
presents a study into how medical
bacteriology was integrated within
both clinical practice and public
knowledge. Using a series of case
studies, she demonstrates how
physicians began to use bacteriology
as a diagnostic tool and how the
public and lawyers argued about
responsibility for bacterial diseases
in workplaces and local communities.
Wall examines particular outbreaks
of anthrax and typhoid in detail,
addressing issues of local politics and
public health.
Wall's book clearly delivers a very
significant expansion of what we know
about the history of bacteriology.

John Stewart
Stewart presents a history of child
guidance literature in Britain from
its origins in the years after the First
World War until the consolidation of
the welfare state. Concepts widely used
in this guidance also played a part in
broader social and cultural perceptions
of what constituted a childs healthy
emotional and psychological
development. This is the first study
of child guidance in this important
period and makes a significant
contribution to the historiography.

Mayumi Hayashi
Across the globe, populations are
getting older. Britain and Japan
are examples of two rapidly ageing
societies, and their governments face
increasing challenges in how to deal
with this situation. Unfortunately,
residential care still carries the stigma
of the British workhouse or the
Japanese obasuteyama (granny-dump
mountain) and is often viewed as a
last resort. Based on extensive archival
research and oral testimony, Hayashi
sets policy and practice at the national,
regional and local levels in their
historical contexts, offering a unique
comparison of the evolution of modern
residential care in England and Japan.

Heather R Beatty
This study, based on extensive use
of eighteenth-century newspapers,
hospital registers and case notes,
examines the experience of suffering
from nervous disease a supposedly
upper-class malady. Beatty concludes
that, far from the stereotyped
portrayal of nervous patients in
contemporary fiction, nervousness
was a legitimate medical diagnosis
with a firm basis in eighteenth-century
medical theory.
Ian Miller
This study is the first exploration of

of surgeons, physicians, psychologists
and gastroenterologists.

Desperate Housewives,
Neuroses and the Domestic
Environment, 19451970
Ali Haggett
The historical association between
femininity and neurosis is well
documented. Many recent studies have
seen womens mental health issues
in the aftermath of the Second World
War as being a direct consequence of
a lack of opportunity and the banality
of a domestic lifestyle. Although the
figure of the desperate housewife is
familiar to us, Haggett suggests that
many women in the 1950s and 1960s
led satisfying lives and that gender
roles, while very different, were often
seen as equal.

Fiona Hutton
Before the 1832 Anatomy Act the
only legal source of cadavers for
medical use was the bodies of executed
murderers. As anatomy became the
dominant medical discipline of the
nineteenth century, the need for
bodies as a teaching tool increased
exponentially. Hutton looks at
Manchester and Oxford to provide
a comparative history of anatomical
study. The Appendix provides data
relating to numbers of medical
students and availability of bodies
compiled directly from contemporary
records.
Helen Yallop
Aging is a fundamental aspect of the
human condition, yet different eras
have understood it in very different
ways and suggested very different
means of defining, measuring and
improving it. Yallop looks at how
people in eighteenth-century England
understood the lifelong process of
growing older, in order to reconstruct
a set of ideas about age, bodies,
identity and change. Advances in
science and medicine at this time
meant that scholars and doctors could
investigate why the body got older,
how aging was experienced and what
the aging body signified in society.
Daniel Schfer
This book looks at the historical roots
of the debate surrounding old age and
disease. It explores the topic from a
variety of perspectives, using medical,
literary and legal sources. Schfer
examines over 160 Latin texts from
Europe and America to challenge
medical conceptions of old age during
the early modern period.

Glhan Balsoy
Epidemics, migration and territorial
losses led to population decline in
early nineteenth-century Turkey.
In response, Ottoman elites began
a programme of population growth,
based on increased birth rate and
reduced infant mortality. Three
policies were initiated to achieve this:
the professionalization of midwives, a
ban on abortion and greater medical
care during pregnancy. Balsoy uses
previously untapped archival sources
to examine these developments,
arguing that these changes caused
reproduction to become a political
experience.

Histories of Disease
James F Stark
From the mid-nineteenth century
onwards a number of previously
unknown conditions were recorded
in both animals and humans. Known
by a variety of names, and found in
diverse locations, by the end of the
century these diseases were united
under the banner of anthrax. Stark
examines anthrax in terms of local,
national and global significance, and
constructs a narrative that spans
public, professional and geographic
domains.

L S Jacyna
This is the first in-depth study of the
English neurologist and polymath
Sir Henry Head (18611940). Head
bridged the gap between science and
the arts. He was a published poet who
had close links with such figures as
Thomas Hardy and Siegfried Sassoon,
whilst his research into the nervous
system and the relationship between
language and the brain broke new
ground. Jacyna argues that these
advances must be contextualized
within wider Modernist debates about
perception and language.

Mary Peace
Sentimentalism became popular
in the eighteenth century, part of
the philosophical idea that truth
is founded on emotion or moral
sentiment. Peace uses the London
Magdalen Hospital for Penitent
Prostitutes as a prism through
which to explore the sentimental
writing of this period. She charts
the moral struggle between luxury
and libertinism, and shows how
the sentimental narrative used by
writers including Fielding, Sterne and
Rousseau was appropriated by radicals
such as Mary Wollstonecraft and
Amelia Opie.

a space to examine representations of

Reasoning in Measurement
Editors: Nicola Mner and
Alfred Nordmann
How can we measure intelligence
or quality of life? Building on recent
developments in the sciences, this
collection offers new understanding of
the epistemology of measurement. The
case studies foster important dialogue
between disparate fields, exploring
diverse topics such as brain imaging,
sexual orientation and seismology. By
taking an interdisciplinary perspective,
these essays highlight the significance
of both qualitative and quantitative
approaches to scientific practice,
where models, images, instruments
and methods all play a major role.

The Correspondence of Dr
William Hunter
Editor: Helen Brock
Born in Scotland, William Hunter
pursued an extensive medical
education in Glasgow, Edinburgh,
London and Paris before settling in
London where he made his name as an
anatomist and obstetrician.
Hunters prominent position in
Londons scientific and artistic
circles, his extensive medical and
connoisseurial contacts in Scotland
and Europe and his network of
students, make his correspondence a
unique record of the Enlightenment.
This edition presents all of his
known correspondence, drawing
upon archives around the world. The
letters are presented chronologically
and interspersed with new editorial
material to create a fascinating
narrative about this important era of
medical and scientific discovery.
[Brocks] remorseless detective work in
tracking down letters and identifying
references in correspondence is evident
throughout these pages. Medical
