Nakamura delivers a solid work that makes extensive use of primary sources and secondary sources in both Japanese and English. The book is also well suited as an introduction to the study of rangaku [Dutch studies]. Overall, this book is a gem in the small field of English scholarship on rangaku and will hopefully spawn future works that further illuminate the field. Pertenece a las series editoriales
"The history of Western medicine in the late Tokugawa period is usually depicted as a prelude to modern medicine. By comparison to the Western medical science that was systematically introduced in the Meiji period, the Tokugawa study of Western learning is often seen as a hopelessly backward exercise in which inadequately equipped Japanese doctors valiantly struggled to make sense of outdated Dutch knowledge. In contrast, this book argues that the study of Western medicine was a dynamic activity that brought together doctors from all over the country in efforts to effect social change." "By examining the social impact of Western learning at the level of everyday life rather than simply its impact at the theoretical level, the book offers a broad picture of the way in which Western medicine, and Western knowledge, was absorbed and adapted in Japan."--Jacket.
