In this innovative analytical account of the place of emotion and
embodiment in nineteenth-century British surgery, Michael Brown
examines the changing emotional dynamics of surgical culture for
both surgeons and patients from the pre-anaesthetic era through the
introduction of anaesthesia and antisepsis techniques. Drawing on
diverse archival and published sources, Brown explores how an
emotional regime of Romantic sensibility, in which emotions played
a central role in the practice and experience of surgery, was
superseded by one of scientific modernity, in which the emotions of
both patient and practitioner were increasingly marginalised.
Demonstrating that the cultures of contemporary surgery and the
emotional identities of its practitioners have their origins in the
cultural and conceptual upheavals of the later nineteenth century,
this book challenges us to question our perception of the
pre-anaesthetic period as an era of bloody brutality and casual
cruelty. This title is also available as open access.
