Syphilis in Victorian Literature and Culture

This book addresses the evident but unexplored intertwining of visibility and invisibility in the discourses around syphilis. This book is the first large-scale interdisciplinary study of syphilis in late Victorian Britain whose significance lies in its unprecedented attention to the multimedia and multi-discursive evocations of syphilis.

Aceasta carte abordeaza impletirea evidenta, dar neexplorata, a vizibilitatii si invizibilitatii in discursurile din jurul sifilisului. Aceasta carte este primul studiu interdisciplinar pe scara larga al sifilisului in Marea Britanie tarzie, a carui semnificatie rezida in atentia sa fara precedent asupra evocarilor multimedia si multi-discursive ale sifilisului.
