Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, set in early 19th century London, centers around the elite surgeon, Mr. Maxwell, and his social circle. It provides an unusual glimpse into the social and professional life of a surgeon and their family at that time. Along with Mr. Maxwell's own perspective, the narrative is shaped by the often cynical observations of his long-time friend and houseguest, Mr. Moss. The narrative follows the events leading up to the marriage of the surgeon's daughter. Through this lens, it explores themes of love, aspiration, social expectations and class in Regency England. It also offers a unique insight into the gruesome yet fascinating world of medical education and practice at that time. The insights into early 19th century life and culture are especially valuable and intriguing.
