"Post Mortem: Essays, Historical and Medical" by C. MacLaurin is a collection of essays blending historical analysis and medical insights, likely written in the early 20th century. The central focus of the essays appears to be the intersection of the physical health of notable historical figures and their actions throughout history, exploring how their health may have influenced their decisions and legacies. The author aims to shed light on prominent individuals such as Henry VIII and Jeanne d'Arc through a medical lens, offering a unique perspective that challenges traditional historical narratives. The opening of the work establishes MacLaurin's intent to analyze the lives of historical figures through the prism of their health, suggesting that many of their actions may have stemmed from physical or mental conditions that have been overlooked by historians. MacLaurin introduces several significant figures, particularly focusing on the complex dynamics involving Henry VIII, his marriages, and Anne Boleyn, while emphasizing the need for a more nuanced understanding of these characters beyond their historical reputations. The author sets the stage for a scholarly examination, promising a blend of medical understanding intertwined with rich historical context in the essays to follow.
