AUTHOR
SUMMARY
Anne Hardy has drawn on a wide range of public health records for a detailed epidemiological investigation of the many infectious diseases--whooping cough, measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, smallpox, typhus, typhoid, and tuberculosis--in Victorian society. Hardy explores factors which helped to reduce fatality, focusing particularly on preventive medicine, and on the local and domestic circumstances affecting the diseases' behavior. This is a significant contribution to the historical debate that arose from Thomas McKeown's theory of modern population growth.Hardy, Anne is the author of 'Epidemic Streets Infectious Disease and the Rise of Preventive Medicine, 1856-1900' with ISBN 9780198203773 and ISBN 0198203772.
