Robert Weston’s A Country Doctor in the French Revolution is essentially a case study, a biography, contextualised in the broader historical perspective of the Enlightenment. In this interesting work Weston focuses on the private and professional life of the country physician. Ramel performed medicine in the south of France and in north Africa in the second half of the eighteenth century. He was also involved in medical research as a scholar (writing on environmental medicine, health and climate, epidemics and prevention, and new technologies applied to medicine), and he took part in the events of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars in Italy.

Abstract

Robert Weston’s A Country Doctor in the French Revolution is essentially a case study, a biography, contextualised in the broader historical perspective of the Enlightenment. In this interesting work Weston focuses on the private and professional life of the country physician. Ramel performed medicine in the south of France and in north Africa in the second half of the eighteenth century. He was also involved in medical research as a scholar (writing on environmental medicine, health and climate, epidemics and prevention, and new technologies applied to medicine), and he took part in the events of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars in Italy.
