It begins by looking at a community of doctors and patients who lived and worked in the streets surrounding the Middlesex Hospital in London. It follows in their footsteps as they walked the labyrinthine lanes and passages that branched off Tottenham Court Road; then, through seven chapters, its focus expands to successively include the rivers, lakes, and forests of England, the mountains, poverty, and hunger of the four nations of the British Isles, the reluctant and resistant inhabitants of the British Empire, and the networks of scientists and doctors spread across Europe and North America. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Cancer Problem: Malignancy in Nineteenth-Century Britain\u003c\/em\u003e argues that it was in the nineteenth century that cancer acquired the unique emotional, symbolic, and politicized status it maintains today. Through an interrogation of the construction, deployment, and emotional consequences of the disease's incurability, this book reframes our conceptualization of the relationship between medicine and modern life and reshapes our understanding of chronic and incurable maladies, both past and present.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgnes Arnold-Forster, \u003cem\u003eChancellor's Fellow, University of Edinburgh\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDr Agnes Arnold-Forster is a social, cultural, and medical historian of modern Britain.
