Table of ContentsReviews'Harry Paul’s book is [...] interesting and valuable... not only does it provide a glimpse into the life of the man himself, but it also gives the reader a useful introduction to the medical and social history of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century France.' French Studies '... a fascinating, thorough and detailed scientific and social history of medicine in early twentieth-century France with a focus on the specific areas where Henri de Rothschild’s activities held pride of place. Harry Paul’s expertise and erudition as an intellectual historian of science shines through.' Social History of Medicine 'Overall, this book is readable and engaging, providing fascinating detail about the life of this lesser-known member of one of modern history’s best-known families. Paul does an especially excellent job of re-creating the world of medical education, training, and practice in late nineteenth-century Paris. It is bound to be of interest to historians of medicine, in particular, but also to historians seeking to learn more about French cultural life under the Third Republic, as well as those more specifically interested in expanding their knowledge of the history of the Rothschild family.'
