This book explores the important connections between medicine and
political culture that often have been overlooked. In response to
the French revolution and British radicalism, political
propagandists adopted a scientific vocabulary and medical images
for their own purposes. New ideas about anatomy and pathology,
sexuality and reproduction, cleanliness and contamination, and diet
and drink migrated into politics in often startling ways, and to
significant effect. These ideas were used to identify individuals
as normal or pathological, and as "naturally" suitable or
unsuitable for public life. This migration has had profound
consequences for how we measure the bodies, practices and abilities
of public figures and ourselves.
