This timely collection examines representations of medicine and
medical practices in international period drama television. A
preoccupation with medical plots and settings can be found across a
range of important historical series, including Outlander, Poldark,
The Knick, Call the Midwife, La Peste and A Place to Call Home.
Such shows offer a critique of medical history while demonstrating
how contemporary viewers access and understand the past. Topics
covered in this collection include the innovations and horrors of
surgery; the intersection of gender, class, race and medicine on
the American frontier; psychiatry and the trauma of war; and the
connections between past and present pandemics. Featuring original
chapters on period television from the UK, the US, Spain and
Australia, Diagnosing history offers an accessible, global and
multidisciplinary contribution to both televisual and medical
history. -- .
