Product Description
Rabies was a constant threat in Victorian Britain and gripped popular imagination, not least because its human form, hydrophobia, produced a vile death with the mind and body out of control. This book explores the changing understanding of rabies amongst veterinarians, animal welfare campaigners, state officials, politicians and the public.
Book Description
A history of rabies in Britain from the "Era of Canine Madness" in 1830 to Pet Passports in 2000.
