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.
Intellectual history and early modern history have always occupied
an important place in Past and Present. First published in 1974,
this volume is a collection of original articles and debates,
published in the journal between 1953 and May 1973, dealing with
many aspects of the intellectual history of the seventeenth
century. Several of the contributions have been extremely
influential, and the debates represent major standpoints in
controversies over genesis of modern ideas. Although England is the
focus of attention for most of the contributors, their themes have
wider significance. Among the topics covered in the collection are
the political thought of the Levellers and of James Harrington;
radical social movements of the Puritan Revolution; the ideological
context of physiological theories associated with William Harvey;
the relationship between science and religion and the social
relations of science; and the function of millenariansim and
eschatology in the seventeenth century. The editor's Introduction
indicates the context in which the articles were composed and
provides valuable bibliographical information about the subjects
discussed.
