Students notoriously vote with their feet, seeking out the best and most innovative teachers of their subject. This book deals with the peregrinatio medica from the viewpoint of the travelling students: who went where; how did they travel; what did they find when they arrived; and, what did they take back with them from their studies.

The eighteenth-century practitioners of anatomy saw their own period as 'the perfection of anatomy'. This book looks at the investigation of anatomy in the 'long' eighteenth century in disciplinary terms. It considers the practical aspects of anatomizing, the questions of how one became an anatomist, and where and how the discipline was practised.

This book presents a series of essays, each specially written by an expert in the area, which focus on the role of Romantic philosophy and ideology in the sciences, and on the role of the sciences in Romantic literature.
