- This monograph explores how medical experts, pharmaceutical businesses, the colonial state, and colonised Indians contributed to the knowledge of the tropical disease malaria and its cures in British India in the long nineteenth century. The empirical research was conducted in London, Cambridge, Calcutta and New Delhi. It draws on a wealth of previously unexamined English as well as Bengali sources, including nineteenth-century medical journals, unpublished colonial bureaucratic correspondence, private papers of pharmaceutical families and relatively inaccessible and nondescript Bengali ‘grub street’ literature. Th result of some ten years research and writing, the monograph is over 125,000 words long.
