Reading the Nineteenth-Century Medical Journal
ഈ ഇ-ബുക്കിനെക്കുറിച്ച്
From debates about women doctors in lesser-known titles such as the Medical Mirror, to the formation of professional medical communities within French and Portuguese periodicals, the contributors to this volume highlight the multi-faceted nature of these publications as well as their uses to the historian. Medical periodicals – far from being the preserve of doctors and nurses – were also read by the general public. Thus, the contributions collected here will be of interest not only to the historian of medicine, but also to those interested in nineteenth-century periodical culture more broadly.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Media History.
