Illness and the Ill in the Long Eighteenth Century

Joint Volunteers and Friends Lecture

Join us for this special joint Volunteers and Friends talk exploring ‘Illness and the Ill in the Long Eighteenth Century’.

For this special duo of talks we welcome both Emeritus Professor Allan Ingram, University of Northumbria, Co-Director for ‘Writing Doctors: Representation and Medical Personality ca. 1660-1832’ who will look at ‘Small Pox, Large Presence: Meaning, Morality and an Eighteenth-Century Killer’, and Dr Ashleigh Blackwood, University of Northumbria, Research Associate for ‘Writing Doctors’ who delves into ‘Worms and Snails for all that Ails: Uncovering Medical Knowledge in the Fairfax Family’.

This talk is being held as part of the Fairfax House Volunteers Pre-Season Meeting. Due to the increased audience size for this event we have organised a new venue which will be The King’s Manor in the Rahtz lecture theatre.
