330 .. $a "During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Caribbean was known as the 'grave
of Europeans'. At the apex of British colonialism in the region between 1764 and 1834,
the rapid spread of disease amongst colonist, enslaved and indigenous populations
made the Caribbean notorious as one of the deadliest places on earth. Drawing on historical
accounts from physicians, surgeons and travellers alongside literary works, Emily
Senior traces the cultural impact of such widespread disease and death during the
Romantic age of exploration and medical and scientific discovery. Focusing on new
fields of knowledge such as dermatology, medical geography and anatomy, Senior shows
how literature was crucial to the development and circulation of new medical ideas,
and that the Caribbean as the hub of empire played a significant role in the changing
disciplines and literary forms associated with the transition to modernity"
