Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture

This study focuses on the depictions of malaria in nineteenth-century and postcolonial fiction of writers such as Charles Dickens, Henry James, H. Rider Haggard, and Rudyard Kipling amongst others. It also examines the multivalent and subversive potential of the disease in postcolonial literature of writers such as Amitav Ghosh and Derek Walcott.
