Reviews

'Andrew Cunningham's The Anatomist Anatomis'd is a landmark in the history of medicine... informative, entertaining, and essential reading for both scholars and students. Sixteenth Century Journal 'The Anatomist Anatomis'd is a rich and varied work that succeeds in delineating and exploring the various aspects of the discipline of anatomy during the long eighteenth century. The numerous examples of specific people and activities alongside a large selection of images bring this intellectual endeavour to life and make it thoroughly absorbing.' European History Quarterly
