- Abstract:
At the intersection between Political History, the History of political power and the History of professions, this article analyses through a comparative study (Spain, France and United Kingdom) the social status of doctors in nineteenth century liberal Europe. It aims at demonstrating that the prestige obtained by doctors allowed them to be considered part of the respectable elites, albeit in a marginal and essentially local way. While the liberal regimes remained based on franchise, and while access to Parliament was limited to those who had properties or were civil servants, very few doctors obtained titles or honours. Those who did were either civil servants or were Court physicians. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
- Abstract:
Este artículo cruza la Historia política de las elites y del poder con la Historia de las profesiones para analizar en una perspectiva comparada (España, Francia y Reino Unido) la cuestión del estatus social de los médicos en la Europa liberal decimonónica. Se trata de demostrar que el prestigio social alcanzado por los médicos les valía una consideración suficiente para estar contado dentro de las elites de las sociedades liberales. Pero esta condición de elite era marginal, esencialmente local y muy por debajo de lo que el conjunto de la profesión esperaba. Mientras los regímenes liberales fueron censitarios, con una participación política fundada en la propiedad o la condición de funcionario, los únicos médicos que obtuvieron títulos nobiliarios u otras recompensas honorificas fueron médicos integrados a la administración pública o médicos de Corte.
