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.
