Florence Nightingale at Home
Produktform: Buch / Einband - flex.(Paperback)
This book explores Florence Nightingale’s life and work using the concept of home. As well as considering the material realities of Nightingale’s home life, it examines her relationship to nineteenth-century ideologies of home more generally. The book establishes the importance and complexity of Victorian notions of home, comfort, and domesticity, and charts how these relate to Nightingale’s lived experience as an upper-class woman and her contributions to the development of professional nursing and public health. It examines Nightingale’s childhood homes, her efforts to leave her family home, the role of the home for sanitary health, the creation of surrogate homes in institutions such the Nightingale School, discourses of home during the Crimean War, her achievements working from home while disabled with illness, and, finally, her conception of the home as a ‘household of faith.’ weiterlesen
