When and how did public health become modern? In Governing Systems,
Tom Crook offers a fresh answer to this question through an
examination of Victorian and Edwardian England, long considered one
of the critical birthplaces of modern public health. This birth,
Crook argues, should be located not in the rise of professional
expertise or a centralized bureaucratic state but in the contested
formation and functioning of multiple systems, both human and
material, administrative and technological. Theoretically ambitious
yet empirically grounded, Governing Systems will be of interest to
historians of modern public health and modern Britain, as well as
to anyone interested in the complex gestation of the governmental
dimensions of modernity.
