The Collected Works of Florence Nightingale: The Complete Set comprises all the surviving writing of Florence Nightingale, featuring original material from over 150 archives and private collections worldwide. Known as the heroine of the Crimean War and the major founder of the modern profession of nursing, Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) is affirmed as a scholar, theorist, and social reformer of enormous scope and importance. This series demonstrates her astute use of the political process; reports on her extensive correspondence with royalty, viceroys, cabinet ministers, and international leaders; and contains a great deal of previously unpublished material—Florence Nightingale is revealed as so much more than the “lady with the lamp.” The Collected Works of Florence Nightingale is indispensable to scholars, and accessible and revealing to the general reader.

Descrizione libro Hardcover. First edition. Complete 16 volume set, hardbound and in dust jackets. 14212 pp. Each volume indexed. Most of the volumes have a previous owner's name stamp on front free endpaper. Volume 16 has a printing error to the title page which caused just that page to be creased and torn. Overall nice set, books range from very good to fine condition. From the publisher: "The 16-volume Collected Works of Florence Nightingale (2001-2012) makes available for the first time the full range of Nightingale's written work. It includes letters, most of them previously unpublished, short articles, pamphlets, letters-to-the editor and her full books and reports to government and royal commissions. The volumes are arranged thematically as listed below. They begin with background on her life and family (Volume 1), move through the influence of her faith (Volumes 2-4), her social science work (Volume 5), public health (Volume 6), European travels (Volume 7), women (Volume 8), two volumes on her India work (Volumes 9 and 10), her philosophical Suggestions for Thought (Volume 11), two volumes on civilian nursing (Volumes 12 and 13), and two on war: the Crimean War (Volume 14) and later wars (Volume 15), ending with hospital reform (Volume 16), a subject on which she worked throughout her professional life. All the volumes have comprehensive introductions, plus introductions to the major sections and individual letters or reports. Correspondents are identified, and, wherever possible, so also are persons mentioned in the letters or reports. There is a "Dramatis Personae" at the beginning of each volume, and biographical sketches of major figures at the end of each." Very Good in Near Fine dust jackets. Codice articolo 69839
