Praise for "the Knife Man":
"The surgeon John Hunter (1728-93) is not a well-known name outside
specialist circles, although that scandalous situation should be
corrected by Wendy Moore's marvelous biography." --"The Times
Higher"
"Definitely not for the squeamish, Moore's visceral portrait of
this complex and brilliant man offers a wonderful insight into
sickness, suffering, and surgery in the 18th century." --"The
Guardian (UK)"
"Moore's feel for pace and narrative is impeccable. Her book
contains just the right amount of background scenery to bring
Hunter alive without swamping him.... She is, at last, the
biographer Hunter deserves." --"The Independent"
