Textul de pe ultima copertă
“Medicine and Mobility in Nineteenth-Century British Literature, History, and
Culture is a welcome and timely addition to the debates touching on the theme of
mobility as it was developed through literature, medicine, and history of the
nineteenth century. Truly interdisciplinary in their approaches, these dynamic
essays encourage us to think afresh about mobility as a central feature of the
modern condition.”
—Professor Andrew Mangham, Department of English Literature,
University of Reading
“This volume gathers major international names in nineteenth-century
scholarship to address full-frontally the relation of transport and medical cultures in a period when both were evolving symbiotically. In a series of engaging
historicising chapters, the book amply demonstrates the necessity of its
interdisciplinary logic, opening up possibilities for further Victorian, medical
humanities and mobilities research bridges.”
—Dr Matthew Ingleby, Department of English, Queen Mary University of London
Medicine and Mobility in Nineteenth-Century British Literature, History, and
Culture analyses the cultural and literary histories of medicine and mobility as
entangled processes whose discourses and practices constituted, influenced, and transformed each other. Presenting case studies of novels, poetry, travel
narratives, diaries, ship magazines, skin care manuals, asylum records, press
reports, and various other sources, its chapters identify and discuss diverse
literary, historical, and cultural texts, contexts, and modes in which medicine
and mobility intersected in nineteenth-century Britain, its empire, and beyond,
whereby they illustrate how the paradigms of mobility studies and the medical
humanities can complement each other.
