- This 100,000-word monograph is the result of ten years of research. It is based on the first comprehensive survey of English-language published medical literature on “shell-shock” and related disorders, c.1910-1930. Research was conducted prior to the digitization of these journals. It incorporates archival materials from medical schools, enabling a prosopographical approach to medical culture in this period. It proposes an original conceptual approach to investigating the history of “shell-shock”; places this history in an extended timeframe, and within wider debates on human identity; and nuances debates on war and social change through the notion of “revolution via evolution”.
