Beschreibung
"Fevered Lives" explores the changing meanings of consumption/tuberculosis in an extraordinarily readable cultural history. Emphasizing the material culture of disease, Ott traces the shift from the pre-industrial world of 1870, in which consumption was conceived of primarily as a middle-class malaise that conferred virtue, heightened spirituality, and gentility on the sufferer, to the post-industrial world of today, in which tuberculosis is viewed as a microscopic enemy, fought on an urban battleground and attacking primarily the outcast poor and AIDS patients.
