In recent years the study of nursing history in Britain has been
transformed by the application of concepts and methods from the
social sciences to original sources. The myths and legends which
have grown up through a century of anecdotal writing have been
chipped away to reveal the complex story of an occupation shaped
and reshaped by social and technological change. Most of the work
has been scattered in monographs, journals and edited collections.
The skills of a social historian, a sociologist and a graduate
nurse have been brought together to rethink the history of modern
nursing in the light of the latest scholarship. The account starts
by looking at the type of nursing care available in 1800. This was
usually provided by the sick person's family or household servants.
It traces the interdependent growth of general nursing and the
modern hospital and examines the separate origins and eventual
integration of mental nursing, district nursing, health visiting
and midwifery. It concludes with reflections on the prospects for
nursing in the year 2000.
