제18회 콜로키움 - Herman Melville and the Nineteenth-Century Cholera Epidemics
▶주제: Herman Melville and the Nineteenth-Century Cholera Epidemics
▶개요: Throughout human history, infectious diseases have consistently threatened human lives. Medieval Europe was ravaged by the Black Death, and during colonization, smallpox decimated the indigenous populations of the Americas. The slave trade brought yellow fever to North America in the late 18th century, having a significant impact on cities like Philadelphia and New York. In the 19th century, cholera emerged as one of the most fearsome contagious diseases. This paper will explore works by nineteenth-century American author Herman Melville, including Pierre (1852) and select short stories, within the context of the cholera epidemics that devastated New York and other American cities in the mid-nineteenth century.
