This is the first exploration of the relationship between the abdomen and British society between 1800 and 1950. Miller demonstrates how the framework of ideas established in medicine related to gastric illness often reflected wider social issues including industrialization and the impact of wartime anxiety upon the inner body.
'makes an exemplary contribution to the historical analysis of disease. Miller joins an ongoing effort to use the history of disease to knit together and illuminate diverse aspects of social, environmental, and scientific history' Isis 'an illustration of the variety and rapid change of medical representations of an organ' American Historical Review
