Medicine in the Making of Modern Britain, 1700-1920 by Christopher Lawrence

Medicine in the Making of Modern Britain, 1700-1920 by Christopher Lawrence

Christopher Lawrence's critical overview of the way medicine has developed in Britain over the last two centuries is the first short synoptic analysis of the clinical encounter.

`In sparse, lively prose it condenses much of our present wisdom about the dynamics of medicine in Britain from 1750 to the twentieth century... Students will find here the tightest and most insightful survey available; practising hitorians will find much that is stimulating and challenging, as well as handy and well-referenced.' - John Pickstone BU for History of Science

`The book fulfils its title, and can be recommended to anyone is search of an informatieve and stimulating introduction to the crucial interactions of medicine and culture since 1700.' - Social History

`Much is done in so short a book - a remarkable amount of substantive history thoughtful analysis, and provocative suggestions. It is a welcome contribution, and deserves to be widely read and much discussed.' - Social History & Medicine
