        Rhinoplasty and the nose in early modern British medicine and culture

        by Emily Cock, David Cantor, Keir Waddington

        Challenging histories of plastic surgery that posit a complete disappearance of Gaspare Tagliacozzi's rhinoplasty operation after his death in 1599, Rhinoplasty and the nose in early modern British medicine and culture traces knowledge of the procedure within the early modern British medical community, through to its impact on the nineteenth-century revival of skin-flap facial surgeries. The book explores why such a procedure was controversial, and the cultural importance of the nose, offering critical readings of literary noses from Shakespeare to Laurence Sterne. Medical knowledge of the graft operation was accompanied by a spurious story that the nose would be constructed from flesh purchased from a social inferior, and would drop off when that person died. The volume therefore explores this narrative in detail for its role in the procedure's stigmatisation, its engagement with the doctrine of medical sympathy, and its unique attempt to commoditise living human flesh.

        Cold, hard steel

        The surgical stereotype, past and present

        by Agnes Arnold-Forster, Keir Waddington

        British culture is populated by larger-than-life surgeons. Whether fictional or real, they have created, conformed to and complicated the surgical stereotype. Cold, hard steel anatomises this stereotype, offering a new social, cultural and emotional history of modern and contemporary British surgery. Drawing on cultural representations, archival material and oral history interviews, the book considers the development and maintenance of the surgical stereotype and explains why it has proven so enduring.
