Description

Explore the profound impact of disease on nineteenth-century literature with this scholarly study from Routledge.

The text moves through key themes including the plague, the development of nursing, and the history of the hospital environment. It offers detailed analysis of significant literary works, such as Dickens's Bleak House, Gaskell's Ruth, and Zola's Le Docteur Pascal. This volume is an essential resource for readers interested in how medical realities influenced the written word and social thought in the 1800s.
