Rooted in American Studies and the Medical Humanities, the study is situated at the interface of American medicine, literature, and visuality. As a literary history of yellow fever epidemics, it presents the ideological, socio-political, visual, and cultural processing of the disease from the late 18th until the end of the 19th century.
