For your Reading Pleasure: The Citadel by A. J. Croning (Graded Reader)
The Citadel is a novel by A. J. Cronin, first published in 1937, which was groundbreaking in its treatment of the contentious theme of medical ethics. It has been credited with laying the foundation in Great Britain for the introduction of the NHS a decade later. In the United States, it won the National Award for 1937 novels, voted by members of the American Bookshellers Association.
For his fifth book, Dr. Cronin drew on his experiences practising medicine in the coal mining communities of the South Wales Valleys. Specifically, he had researched and reported on the correlation between coal dust inhalation and lung disease in the town of Tredegar. He had also worked as a doctor for the Tredegar Aid Society at the Cottage Hospital, which served as the model for the National Health Service.
Croning once stated in an interview, "I have written in The Citadel all I feel about the medical profession, its injustices, its hide-bound unscientific stubbornness, its humbug... The horrors and inequities detailed in the story I have personally witnessed. This is not and attack against individuals, but against a system."
