Description
|
|
|
|
When Gray's Anatomy appeared in 1858, the book rapidly became the standard anatomical reference. Indeed, it is the only textbook of human anatomy continuously in print for the last 150 years. Here Ruth Richardson presents the anatomy of the Anatomy, revealing stories of the remarkable people who came together to produce this book and examining its legacy as an intellectual and cultural artifact. The story is framed within the history of Victorian London and the changing culture and attitudes of the mid 19th century, driven by the social impact of science, the changing status of medicine, and notions of religion, poverty, and class.
