With unobtrusive erudition, Rosenfeld, associate professor of pathology at New York University, vividly portrays Hodgkin's exemplary though idiosyncratic character and multiple activities in an era of economic and sociological ferment that extended to medical practice and education.
Hodgkin (1798-1866) was a man of many passions: medicine, religion, and social activism.
