The Butchering Art: Joseph Lister's Quest to Transform the Grisly World of Victorian Medicine by Lindsey Fitzharris

5.0

This is a really lively and engaging account of Joseph Lister's life. This is not an area of history I know much about but this book really brought it to life; funny, gory in all the right ways, affectionate and poignant. I would highly recommend The Butchering Art.
