From the Dust Jacket: "The panic and social stresses caused in Britain by the epidemic of cholera which swept the country in 1831-32 are vividly described in this compelling survey of early nineteenth-century medicine and society. The author, Dr. Michael Durey, examines the pathways of the disease, the social, economic and hygienic factors which helped its spread, the responses of both the authorities and ordinary people, the impact of cholera on contemporary medical science and the manner in which political radicals made use of the epidemic.".
