Sir William Richard Gowers was one of the pre-eminent clinical
neurologists of the nineteenth century. He is best remembered for
his discovery of the eponymous 'Gowers' sign', for his invention of
the patella hammer, and for authoring the classic two-volume
neurology textbook Manual of Diseases of the Nervous System. To
date Dr Gowers has been the subject of only one published
biography, while some aspects of Gowers' work have been chronicled
in historical works regarding the history of neurology. This book
goes into greater detail than ever, presenting the life story
behind a great Victorian brain. Generously illustrated throughout
with family photographs and original sketches, the authors cover
Gowers' early years, his clinical work at Queen Square, his
accolades, and friendships with explorers and famous authors.
Co-authored by an academic with special access to the Gowers family
archives and two leading neurologists, this book is the first
definitive reference work on the life of William Richard Gowers,
and will be of great interest to neurologists, neuroscientists,
medical historians, and laypersons with an interest in neurology
and mental illness.
