This book examines how the medical profession engaged with print
and literary culture to shape its identities between the 1830s and
1910s in Britain and its empire. Moving away from a focus on
medical education and professional appointments, the book reorients
attention to how medical self-fashioning interacted with other axes
of identity, including age, gender, race, and the spaces of
practice. Drawing on medical journals and fiction, as well as
professional advice guides and popular periodicals, this volume
considers how images of medical practice and professionalism were
formed in the cultural and medical imagination. Alison Moulds
uncovers how medical professionals were involved in textual
production and consumption as editors, contributors,
correspondents, readers, authors, and reviewers. Ultimately, this
book opens up new perspectives on the relationship between
literature and medicine, revealing how the profession engaged with
a range of textual practices to build communities, air grievances,
and augment its cultural authority and status in public life.

Work in all its guises is a fundamental part of the human
experience, and yet it is a setting where emotions rarely take
centre stage. This edited collection interrogates the troubled
relationship between emotion and work to shed light on the feelings
and meanings of both paid and unpaid labour from the late 19th to
the 21st century. Central to this book is a reappraisal of
'emotional labour', now associated with the household and 'life
admin' work largely undertaken by women and which reflects and
perpetuates gender inequalities. Critiquing this term, and the
history of how work has made us feel, Feelings and Work in Modern
History explores the changing values we have ascribed to our
labour, examines the methods deployed by workplaces to manage or
'administrate' our emotions, and traces feelings through 19th, 20th
and 21st century Europe, Asia and South America. Exploring the
damages wrought to physical and emotional health by certain
workplaces and practices, critiquing the pathologisation of some
emotional responses to work, and acknowledging the joy and meaning
people derive from their labour, this book appraises the notion of
'work-life balance', explores the changing notions of
professionalism and critically engages with the history of
capitalism and neo-liberalism. In doing so, it interrogates the
lasting impact of some of these histories on the current and future
emotional landscape of labour.
