      abstract = {Medicine and Mobility in Nineteenth-Century British  Literature, History, and Culture is a welcome and timely  addition to the debates touching on the theme of mobility  as it was developed through literature, medicine, and  history of the nineteenth century. Truly interdisciplinary  in their approaches, these dynamic essays encourage us to  think afresh about mobility as a central feature of the  modern condition. Professor Andrew Mangham, Department of  English Literature, University of Reading This volume  gathers major international names in nineteenth-century  scholarship to address full-frontally the relation of  transport and medical cultures in a period when both were  evolving symbiotically. In a series of engaging  historicising chapters, the book amply demonstrates the  necessity of its interdisciplinary logic, opening up  possibilities for further Victorian, medical humanities and  mobilities research bridges. Dr Matthew Ingleby, Department  of English, Queen Mary University of London Medicine and  Mobility in Nineteenth-Century British Literature, History,  and Culture analyses the cultural and literary histories of  medicine and mobility as entangled processes whose  discourses and practices constituted, influenced, and  transformed each other. Presenting case studies of novels,  poetry, travel narratives, diaries, ship magazines, skin  care manuals, asylum records, press reports, and various  other sources, its chapters identify and discuss diverse  literary, historical, and cultural texts, contexts, and  modes in which medicine and mobility intersected in  nineteenth-century Britain, its empire, and beyond, whereby  they illustrate how the paradigms of mobility studies and  the medical humanities can complement each other. Sandra  Dinter is Junior Professor of British Literature and  Culture at the University of Hamburg, Germany. Her research  focuses on representations of mobility, gender, and space  in the long nineteenth century. Sarah Schfer-Althaus is  Lecturer of Anglophone Literature and Culture at the  University of Koblenz, Germany. Her research focuses on  women, gender, and sexuality studies, body theory, and the  history of medicine.},
