-
if you're interested in cholera in the West,
-
Naples is a very interesting place
-
because it was the city- it was the largest city
-
in europe in the nineteenth century,
-
and it was scourged the most often
-
by this affliction. And I'm going to be arguing
-
that it was scourged also in times
-
that aren't recorded in the standard historiography
-
of the subject, and in particular in 1911.
-
It also is an extraordinary place
-
because it has something happen
-
that you won't find elsewhere,
