Abstract: This second volume of the International Series The Eighteenth Century and the Habsburg Monarchy gathers twelve contributions from thirteen researchers who hold positions at various prestigious European universities, such as University of Vienna, Oxford Brookes University, University of Graz or University of Warsaw. The volume’s editor, Teodora Daniela Sechel, received her PhD title in 2008 at Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. She also attended a postdoctoral programme at the University of Vienna and currently she is affiliated to Central European University, Budapest.
The studies included in this volume are uniformly distributed throughout the four sections of the book, being placed between an introduction and a concluding chapter. The Introduction signed by Karl Vocelka delimits chronologically and spatially the topics pertaining to the history of medicine which are detailed in this volume. After offering an overall image on the important progresses that took place in the 18th century, the chapter provides the reader with valuable information regarding the state of the fields of medicine and hygiene in the Austrian and Ottoman Empires until the First World War. The author also draws attention to the fact that this book achieves an extremely desirable outcome: shifting the researchers’ interest from the scientific discourse of the centres to that of the peripheries. |
