Contagion, Isolation, and Biopolitics in Victorian London
(Bog, Hardback, Engelsk)
Beskrivelse
This book is a history of London’s vast network of fever and smallpox hospitals, built by the Metropolitan Asylums Board between 1870 and 1900. Londoners suffering from infectious diseases submitted themselves to far-reaching forms of surveillance, removal, and detention, which made them legible to science and the state in entirely new ways.
