I’m always on the lookout for comprehensive, reliable reading lists in the areas of general European history, history of science, and history of medicine, if for no other reason than to be able to see where the gaps in my knowledge are most stark. And, since my move from a focus on the 19th century to the 18th and 17th centuries (once I began here at Edinburgh), I am acutely aware of how large these gaps can be. So it is in that spirit that I post links to a few helpful reading lists:
[University of California, Los Angeles]
UCLA European and Intellectual History reading list
UCLA History of Science reading list || UCLA History of Science reading list II (perhaps more recent?)
UCLA Renaissance and Reformation reading list
UCLA Early Modern Europe (Reformation to the Revolution) reading list
UCLA Modern History after 1740 reading list
UCLA Social and Economic History reading list
[Harvard University]
Intellectual and Cultural History of Early Modern Europe reading list (Ann Blair – PDF)
History of the Book reading list (Ann Blair – PDF)
[Cambridge University]
A ‘Core’ Reading List for Cambridge HPS students (PDF – modified by me)
Cambridge HPS Research Guide (lots of helpful recommendations here, if slightly dated)
[Oxford University]
Course Programme and Reading List for HSTM Master’s students (2009-10, PDF)
—[History of Medicine]—
And finally the National Library of Medicine in the U.S. has a wonderful website where you can access hundreds of course syllabi on the history of medicine by professor, institution or date. Very helpful. Here are links to a few of the ones I find particularly interesting (note: all of the links point to PDFs):
Katharine Park (Harvard, 2002): Medicine and Society in Medieval and Renaissance Europe
Anne Harrington (Harvard, 2003): In Search of Mind
Thomas Broman (University of Wisconsin – Madison, 2005): The Physician in History
Christopher Lawrence (UCL Wellcome Trust, 2005-6): The Rise of Modern Medicine 1650-1900
Vivian Nutton (UCL Wellcome Trust, 2003-4): Medicine, Disease, and Society from Antiquity to the Renaissance
Penelope Gouk (Manchester Wellcome Unit, 2002-3): Medicine before 1800: Changing Conceptions of the Body, Disease and Health in Early Modern Europe
Clare Pilsworth & Penelope Gouk (Manchester Wellcome Unit, 2004-5): Medicine before 1800: Changing Conceptions of the Body, Disease and Health in Early Modern Europe
