Tuberculosis and the Victorian Literary Imagination - Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture
Byrne, Katherine (University of Ulster)
This study examines representations of tuberculosis in Victorian fiction, analyzing consumptive characters for insights into how society viewed this 'dread disease' and its sufferers, and revealing the myths which surrounded this socially significant illness. It displays, also, how popular assumptions were used as diagnostic tools by a frustrated medical profession.
