Contemporary illness narratives have become outlets for distrust, misinformation, reckless denialism, and selfish noncompliance. In The Smallpox Report, Fuson Wang rewinds this contemporary impasse between physician and patient back to the Romantic-era origins of vaccination. The book offers a literary-historical account of smallpox vaccination, contending that the disease's eventual eradication in 1980 was as much a triumph of the literary imagination as it was an achievement of medical Enlightenment science. Wang traces our modern, pandemic-era crisis of vaccine hesitancy back to Edward Jenner's publication of his treatise on vaccination in 1798, the first rumblings of an anti-vaccination movement, and vaccination's formative literary history that included authors such as William Wordsworth, William Blake, John Keats, Mary Shelley, and Arthur Conan Doyle. The book concludes with a re-examination of the current deeply polarized and polarizing public discourse about vaccines in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. By recovering the surprisingly literary genres of Romantic-era medical writing, The Smallpox Report models a new literary historical perspective on our own crises of vaccine refusal."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-240) and index. 505 0 $a Wordsworth's Romantic Path to Biopower -- Darwin's Evolutionary Metaphor -- Blake's Revolutionary Metaphor -- Keats and the End of Disease -- Shelley and Romantic Immunity -- The Case of Sherlock Holmes. 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 650 0 $a English literature $y 18th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature and medicine $z England $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Literature and medicine $z England $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Vaccination $z England $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Vaccination $z England $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Romanticism $z England. 650 0 $a Smallpox vaccine $x History. 650 0 $a Medicine in literature. 650 0 $a Vaccination in literature. 650 0 $a Smallpox in literature. 650 0 $a Diseases in literature. 650 0 $a Vaccine hesitancy. 650 2 $a Medicine in Literature $0 (DNLM)D008513 650 2 $a Vaccination Hesitancy $0 (DNLM)D000088823 650 7 $a Diseases in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895210 650 7 $a English literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a Literature and medicine $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000080 650 7 $a Medicine in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01015167 650 7 $a Romanticism $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01100133 650 7 $a Smallpox in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904717 650 7 $a Vaccination $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01163544 650 7 $a Vaccination in literature $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01905027 651 7 $a England $2 fast $1 https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJpYDdYvBpjXV6WpybK68C $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Wang, Fuson. $t Smallpox report. $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2023 $z 9781487546625 $z 9781487546625 $w (OCoLC)1350603623 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240619011049.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4E6B31FE2E0111EFA856D47D28ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
