Description

This scholarly examination explores how contagion and disease shaped nineteenth-century literature and culture. The book analyzes cultural attitudes toward disease, health and impurity whilst investigating key themes including plague, nursing and hospital environments. Through close readings of canonical texts such as Dickens' Bleak House, Gaskell's Ruth and Zola's Le Docteur Pascal, the author demonstrates how disease narratives functioned within Victorian and nineteenth-century European society. The study traces connections between medical understanding, social anxieties and literary representation, revealing how authors used contagion as a lens to examine broader concerns about community, morality and human vulnerability. Essential reading for scholars of nineteenth-century literature, medical history and cultural studies.
