Death, Health and Dickens, Creighton University

The representation of disease and death demonstrate an important social awareness of healthcare in Victorian Britain that helps us understand today's medical and social landscape. Students will explore the connection between health, social conditions, and the works of Charles Dickens. This information has been collected for the Post-Discipline Online Syllabus Database. The database explores the use of literature by schools of professional education in North America. It forms part of a larger project titled Post-Discipline: Literature, Professionalism, and the Crisis of the Humanities, led by Dr Merve Emre with the assistance of Dr Hayley G. Toth. You can find more information about the project at https://postdiscipline.english.ox.ac.uk/. Data was collected and accurate in 2021/22.
