A Modern History of the Stomach: Gastric Illness, Medicine and British Society, 1800–1950 - Studies for the Society for the Social History of Medicine 1st edition
Ian Miller
This is the first exploration of the relationship between the abdomen and British society between 1800 and 1950. Miller demonstrates how the framework of ideas established in medicine related to gastric illness often reflected wider social issues including industrialization and the impact of wartime anxiety upon the inner body.
