This collection of essays explores the rise of scientific medicine
and its impact on Victorian popular culture. Chapters include an
examination of Charles Dickens’s involvement with hospital
funding, concerns over milk purity and the theatrical portrayal of
drug addiction, plus a whole section devoted to the representation
of medicine in crime fiction. This is an interdisciplinary study
involving public health, cultural studies, the history of medicine,
literature and the theatre, providing new insights into Victorian
culture and society.
