Paperback. Condition: New. «This monograph makes an original and significant scholarly contribution, in addition to being a gripping read. Not only is it the first book in English to compare Russian and Czechoslovak literature and film of the interwar period in such a comprehensive way, but it does so via the growing discipline of the medical humanities. The book's greatest strength is its attention to detail, exemplified by Sutton-Mattocks's close readings of the medical implications of the creative works she selects.» (Melissa Miller, Modern Language Review 120.1, January 2025)«Her comparative approach using Czech and Russian work enriches the field by moving beyond national boundaries to show how interwar medical discourses were both locally specific and transnationally resonant. It also expands the scope of medical humanities beyond its usual Anglo-American and Western European focus, demonstrating the importance of Eastern European contributions.»(Dylan Mohr, Studies in Russian and Soviet Cinema 1-2, 2025) Surgery, bacteriology, psychiatry . medicine fascinated writers and filmmakers in the 1920s and 1930s.
