Klappentext zu „Tuberculosis and Irish Fiction, 1800-2022 “
This book focuses on Ireland's lived experience of tuberculosis as represented in the nation's fiction; not surprisingly, the disease both manifests and conceals itself with devastating frequency in literature as it did in life. It seeks to place the history of tuberculosis in Ireland, from 1800 until after its virtual eradication in the mid-Twentieth Century, in conversation with fictional representations or repressions of a condition so fearsome that until very recently it was usually referred to by code words and euphemisms rather than by its name.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Tuberculosis and Irish Fiction, 1800-2022 “
