About the Author

Linda Deer Richardson’s academic career was transatlantic. She discovered an interest in history of ideas during an undergraduate course at Rice University, and pursued history of science and medicine as a major part of her honours course at the University of Oxford.  She first encountered Jean Fernel during a master’s course at Princeton University, and completed her thesis in 1980 as a student at the Warburg Institute of the University of London. Since then she has worked in museums, colleges and publishing as an educator.
