Abstract: This article uses the writings of the surgical siblings John and Charles Bell to explore the relationships between surgery, war and emotion in the Romantic era. Drawing on the argument that it was in this period that war came to be constructed as the ‘ultimate' emotional experience, rich in pathos and distinct from anything in civil life, it argues that surgeons such as the Bells might capitalise on the cultural cachet of war to bridge the professional and experiential divide between the civil and military spheres, but that this process was fraught with complexity and ambiguity, both politically and emotionally.

伤口与奇迹：浪漫手术文化中的情感，想象与战争

摘要：本文使用外科兄弟姐妹约翰和查尔斯·贝尔的著作来探讨浪漫时代的外科，战争与情感之间的关系。基于这样一个论点，战争就是在这一时期被构造成一种“终极”的情感体验，充满了悲痛，并且与平民生活中的任何事物截然不同，它认为像贝尔这样的外科医生可能会利用人类的文化底蕴。战争弥合了民用和军事领域之间的专业和经验鸿沟，但这一过程充满了政治和情感上的复杂性和含糊性。
