      abstract = {This book examines how the medical profession engaged with  print and literary culture to shape its identities between  the 1830s and 1910s in Britain and its empire. Moving away  from a focus on medical education and professional  appointments, the book reorients attention to how medical  self-fashioning interacted with other axes of identity,  including age, gender, race, and the spaces of practice.  Drawing on medical journals and fiction, as well as  professional advice guides and popular periodicals, this  volume considers how images of medical practice and  professionalism were formed in the cultural and medical  imagination. Alison Moulds uncovers how medical  professionals were involved in textual production and  consumption as editors, contributors, correspondents,  readers, authors, and reviewers. Ultimately, this book  opens up new perspectives on the relationship between  literature and medicine, revealing how the profession  engaged with a range of textual practices to build  communities, air grievances, and augment its cultural  authority and status in public life. Alison Moulds is a  cultural historian and literary scholar. She completed her  DPhil at the University of Oxford, UK, as part of the  AHRC-funded Constructing Scientific Communities project.  Moulds then worked on Diseases of Modern Life (ERC-funded,  University of Oxford, UK) and Surgery & Emotion (Wellcome  Trust-funded, University of Roehampton, UK). She now has a  career in health policy.},
