概要
 Dive into this captivating 1922 collection of essays that intricately weave together the lives of notable historical figures through a unique lens of medical and psychological analysis. Featuring well-crafted biographies of icons such as Anne Boleyn, Jeanne D’Arc, The Empress Theodora, and Napoleon I, this work not only chronicles their life stories but also examines how their health influenced their actions and legacies. With an insightful conclusion reflecting on the nature of death, the author challenges the often overlooked connection between history and medicine, urging readers to seek a deeper truth about these remarkable individuals. If the background against which it shows its heroes and heroines should appear unsentimental and harsh, at least it appears to medical opinion as probably true; and it is our duty to seek Truth.” (Preface) - Summary by Book Preface and David Wales
