Beschreibung:
Dr Hannah Newton is a social historian of early modern England, specialising in the history of medicine, childhood, and the emotions. She undertook her PhD at the University of Exeter in 2006-2009 on the subject of 'The Sick Child in Early Modern England'. Dr Newton is now based in the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge, as a Wellcome Trust Postdoctoral Fellow. Her postdoctoral project is about recovery and convalescence from illness in the early modern period.
Illness in childhood was common in early modern England. Hannah Newton asks how sick children were perceived and treated by doctors and laypeople, examines the family's experience, and takes the original perspective of sick children themselves. She provides rare and intimate insights into the experiences of sickness, pain, and death.
