  • The Medical Content of English Almanacs 1640–1700

    Louise Hill CurthARTICLEJournal of the History of…2005

    There has been a great deal of recent interest in popular health care in early modern England, resulting in studies on a range of topics from practitioners through remedial treatment. Over the past decade, the history of books has also attracted growing interest. This is particularly true for the seventeenth century, a period marked by a dramatic rise in all types of printed works. The 1640s are especially significant in the evolution of printed …

  • Promoting Retail Innovation

    Open AccessAndrew W Alexander, Andrew Alexander et al.ARTICLEEnvironment and Planning A…2005Cited by: 8References: 39

    The notion of innovation underpins many studies of change within the literatures of retail management and the new retail geography. However, conceptualisation of the innovation process within retailing has remained surprisingly partial, with insufficient attention being given to the processes of knowledge management and learning within the firm. The authors illustrate the importance of such themes by reference to the key organisational and techno…

  • Selling Self-Service and the Supermarket

    Gordon Shaw, Gareth Shaw et al.ARTICLEBusiness History2004Cited by: 20

    This article explores the early origins and growth of the supermarket in Britain. In doing so, it focuses on a number of themes, including the transfer of ideas of selling from America, and how such ideas were modified by the conditions operating in early post-war Britain. Within this context, emphasis is given to the role of individuals, commercial associations and the state in promoting the benefits of self-service. The research is based on a d…

  • Lessons from the past

    Louise Hill CurthARTICLEMedical Humanities2003References: 2

    The history of English medicine used to consist of chronicles of medical progress and great ideas culminating in twentieth century biomedicine. Unlike earlier generations whose medical beliefs and practices were seen to be both futile and dangerous, modern medicine was thought to be able to eradicate illness with a "magic bullet". During the later part of the 20th century, however, the general public began to have doubts about the efficacy and sa…

  • The Care of the Brute Beast

    Louise Hill CurthARTICLESocial History of Medicine2002Cited by: 2

    This article examines the medical options for animals in early modern England. At the present time, this is a topic that has been largely ignored by modern academics. The small number of existing scholarly works tend to begin with the late eighteenth century, after the founding of England's first veterinary college. This institutionalization is generally credited as marking the beginning of modern animal medicine. In turn, what might be called 'p…

  • The Commercialisation of Medicine in the Popular Press

    Louise Curth, Louise Hill CurthARTICLEThe Seventeenth Century2002Cited by: 2

    Modern historians tend to link the commercialisation of medicine with the 'consumer revolution' of the eighteenth century.1 This was said to be a time of societal change, triggered by new processes of production and exchange.2 As an ever-increasing range of items, from household durables through to luxury items, appeared on the market they helped both to create and fulfil rising demand. One historian has even wryly commented that the public clamo…
