Set against the providentialism of conservative political economy, this study uncovers an emerging, dynamic way of describing literal starvation in medicine and physiology. No longer seen as a divine punishment for individual failings, starvation became, in the human sciences, a pathology whose horrific symptoms registered failings of state and statute. Providing new and historically-rich readings of the works of Charles Kingsley, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Charles Dickens, this book suggests that the realism we have come to associate with Victorian social problem fiction learned a vast amount from the empirical, materialist objectives of the medical sciences and that, within the mechanics of these intersections, we find important re-examinations of how we might think about this ongoing humanitarian issue. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Starvation science and political economy -- Charles Kingsley: 'The symbolism and dignity of matter' -- Elizabeth Gaskell: 'Clemming' -- Charles Dickens: 'Nothink and starwation'. 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 650 0 $a Hunger in literature $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Literature and medicine $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Medicine in literature $y 19th century. 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Starvation $y 19th century. 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a Hunger in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00964110 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 Starvation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01131740 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023411.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=43C6E9220CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
