Medicine
S TEVEN Shapin has observed that although we live in a scientific cul- ture, most of this culture's inhabitants have little idea of what scientists do and know. 1 By contrast, not only do we live in a medicalized culture, but as Charles E. Rosenberg comments, "for most of us today, physicians and lay persons alike, medicine is what doctors do and what doctors believe (and what they prescribe for the rest of us)." 2 Most of us today have direct, p…
Lister's relationship with patients
An important aspect of Joseph Lister's work that has received relatively little attention is his relationship with patients. However, a manuscript written by one of his patients, Margaret Mathewson's ‘A Sketch of Eight Months a patient, in the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, A.D. 1877’, provides detail about the surgeon as seen ‘from below’—that is, by a charity patient. Although excerpts from Mathewson's ‘Sketch’ have previously been published, an…
Medical Cosmopolitanism
In 1831 the first epidemic of what came to be known as “Asiatic cholera” bloomed in Britain. The disease, which in previous centuries had been known only in India, was to appear again in Britain in 1848–49, 1853–54, and 1866–67 as pandemics swept around the globe.

Whispers in the Dark
In this study, Elizabeth Keyser examines representative works from the various genres in which Alcott wrote, uncovering self-portraits or metafictions that convey what it meant to be a Victorian woman writer. Alcott's wealth of allusion to other writers, such as Charlotte Bronte, Margaret Fuller, and, especially, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and of recurring motifs, such as textiles, texts, and theatricals, reveals her consistent subversion of convention…
