内容説明・目次

内容説明

Thomas Coram's long life embraced a modest Devon childhood, early manhood as a Boston shipbuilder and American colonial, supporter of women's and children's rights long before such causes became fashionable, triumphant founder ofthe children's hospital which still bears his name, and a crusty but finally reconciled old age. Gillian Wagner unravels the many sides of this remarkable private man.
