Description

Explore the evolution of medical practice through this scholarly collection from Routledge. During the 18th century, medicine transitioned into an autonomous discipline. This era saw surgeons working to establish themselves as skilled practitioners, distinguishing their professional status from the unspecialized barber-surgeons of the early modern period. Liberating Medicine, 1720-1835 provides an academic look at this transformative era. The book contains 17 essays that examine the connection between medicine and literature throughout the Enlightenment. It is a valuable resource for readers interested in the history of science and the cultural shifts that shaped modern medical identity.
