Offers a careful and detailed discussion of typhoid and epidemiology from the late 1860s to 1901. Steere-Williams tells an important story of how epidemiologists came to claim and define a field of knowledge and authority to speak for the public good. * VICTORIAN STUDIES * A nuanced case study of developing chains of evidence, hallmarks of outbreak investigation, and rhetorical performances of Victorian epidemiology... Should be required reading for historians of public health and epidemiology. * JOURNAL OF BRITISH STUDIES *
