- This volume is the product of research undertaken under a Wellcome Trust Programme Grant (reference 092719/Z/10/A) entitled ‘One Medicine? Investigating Human and Animal Disease.’ This was a £563,000, 5-year project, for which Woods was the PI and the other authors of chapters in the book were Post-doctoral Research Fellows. Woods conceived of the project, wrote the funding proposal, and hired the post-docs. Woods planned Animals and the Shaping of Modern Medicine as a programmatic contribution to medical history and an important enhancement to animal history. It aspires to far greater cohesion, coherence and scholarly impact than a standard edited volume. Its writing required considerable oversight on Woods’s part, to ensure that the chapters synergise, address common research questions, and construct an overarching narrative that makes a consistent whole. The main body of the volume consists of five chapters, of which Woods authored two, and the project’s three postdocs wrote one each. Woods provided them with substantial support as they conceptualised, researched and wrote their chapters, and engaged in several rounds of editing with them. The case studies are prefaced by a 9,000 word introduction (unattributed but by Woods), which lays out the volume’s objectives and approach, and introduces readers to the history of animals, and the historiographical, methodological and conceptual issues to be considered in its investigation. There is also a 3,000 word conclusion (unattributed but by Woods) that summarises the findings of the volume, draws cross-cutting observations and highlights its scholarly significance. The volume ends with a 9000-word annotated bibliography of animals in the History of Medicine, which is intended to introduce readers to the field and orient them in the literature. All authors contributed equally to this, but Woods exercised editorial control.
