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. Rachael Sealy Lynch, Associate Professor Emerita of English at the University of Connecticut, USA, works primarily in the field of recent and contemporary Irish women writers, and, more recently, in the medical humanities. She has published widely, with a focus on sex, stigma, and shame, on writers including Anne Enright, Jennifer Johnston, Molly Keane, Edna O’Brien, Emma Donoghue, Mary Lavin, and Liam O’Flaherty. 0aLiterature, Modernx19th century. 0aLiterature, Modernx20th century. 0aLiterature, Modernx21st century. 0aMedicine and the humanities. 0aGreat BritainxHistory.14aNineteenth-Century Literature.24aTwentieth-Century Literature.24aContemporary Literature.24aMedical Humanities.24aHistory of Britain and Ireland.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303140344608iPrinted edition:z978303140346008iPrinted edition:z9783031403477 0aNew Directions in Irish and Irish American Literature,x2731-319040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-40345-3
