- A key output from the Leverhulme Trust-funded project Fashionable Diseases, this collection explores in considerable depth the interface of fashionability and bodily malfunction, to the point of death. Its focus on the literature of the long-eighteenth century gives the collection a methodological and thematic coherence that allows for deep interrogation of how literature and culture fashioned considerations of disease and death. Each essay represents original research undertaken specifically for this volume; the clarity of critical insight offered by each reflects the editorial process that developed clear objectives from the outset and which were maintained by sustained close involvement throughout.
