The Spaces of the Hospital examines how hospitals operated as a
complex category of social, urban and architectural space in London
from 1680 to 1820. This period witnessed the transformation of the
city into a modern metropolis. The hospital was very much part of
this process and its spaces, both interior and exterior, help us to
understand these changes in terms of spatiality and spatial
practices. Exploring the hospital through a series of thematic case
studies, Dana Arnold presents a theoretically refined reading of
how these institutions both functioned as internal discrete
locations and interacted with the metropolis. Examples range from
the grand royal military hospital, those concerned with the
destitute and the insane and the new cultural phenomenon of the
voluntary hospital. This engaging book makes an important
contribution to our understanding of urban space and of London,
uniquely examining how different theoretical paradigms reveal
parallel readings of these remarkable hospital buildings.
