Important medical discoveries were made during Queen Victoria’s reign but in this study Jane Pearson is not so much concerned with medical progress as with the question of how the profession of medicine developed. The book shows how doctors working in Colchester during the Victorian period developed professionally and also investigates the extent to which they effected medical and social change in the town. Drawing on a wealth of detailed research, Dr Pearson’s fascinating account of how these significant changes were achieved in one small Essex town sheds light on a little-known area of medical history.
