{"product_id":"naples-in-the-time-of-cholera-1884-1911","title":"Naples in the Time of Cholera, 1884–1911","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 1995 book is a medical and social history of Italy's largest city during the cholera epidemics of 1884 and 1910–11. It explores the factors that exposed Naples to risk; it examines such popular responses as social hysteria, riots and religiosity; and it traces therapeutic strategies. Cholera also became a metaphor for discontent with the regime: the 1884 outbreak was a national issue which led to the rebuilding of the city amidst widespread corruption. The book sets Naples in a comparative international framework; the disease is also related to larger historical issues, such as the nature of liberal statecraft, the 'Southern Question', mass emigration, organised crime, urban renewal, and the medical profession.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46647504896238,"sku":"9780521483100","price":203.37,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780521483100.jpg?v=1750173022","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/naples-in-the-time-of-cholera-1884-1911","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
