I'm delighted to read this lovely review of my latest book by Dolores Martín-Moruno in @AmHistReview. I really appreciate the reviewer's support for my research & its suggestions for how we do the history of surgery, & even how we might do surgery itself. academic.oup.com/ahr/article…

Using the device of ‘exposure’, we focus on a little-known 1823 sex scandal involving a celebrity Congregational minister & his interaction with two young builders at a bathhouse in Camberwell.
