  Book Description
  Publication Date: August 21,
2013
  Though once relegated to the proverbial dustbin of history, the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic is now
widely recognized as the most devastating disease outbreak in recorded history. This cultural history sets out to
reconstruct Spaniards' collective experience of the flu, and to trace the emergence of competing narratives that arose
in response to contemporary bacteriology's failure to explain or contain the disease's spread. As author Ryan A. Davis
demonstrates, when a society loses its most significant means of understanding an event of this magnitude, it must turn
elsewhere for answers. What Spanish narratives of the flu shared was a discursive anxiety revolving around the
preservation of a particular notion of national identity - one that was particularly apparent in the journalistic
accounts of the period.
  
  Reviews
  'Based on the author's exhaustive research, this book offers a new analysis in English of this tremendous event in
Spain, complementary to others that already exist. It centers on cultural narratives, showing how they were structured
in response to this great socio-medical crisis, and perfectly links two concepts of epidemic and national
identity.' - María-Isabel Porras-Gallo, Professor of History of Science, University of
Castile-La Mancha, Spain
  
  'This original work takes up a series of long-running questions about
modern Spanish national identity as they intersect with the highly mobile, transnational phenomenon of epidemic. While
historians of medicine have produced some studies of the relationship between disease and national identity, none until
now has dealt with Spain, nor have Hispanists taken note of the role of epidemic as a defining collective national
event.' - Sasha David Pack, Associate Professor, Department of History, University at
Buffalo-SUNY, USA
  
  About the Author
  Ryan A. Davis is Assistant Professor of Spanish in the Department of Languages,
Literatures, and Cultures at Illinois State University, USA. His research on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Spain
focuses on the intersection between literary and medical discourses, articulations of national and individual
subjectivity, and, more recently, 'fringe' discourses like hypnotism. His published work has appeared in the Journal of
Spanish Cultural Studies, Revista de Estudios Hispánicos, Decimonónica, and Ometeca. He is the co-editor of The
Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1918–1919: Emerging Perspectives from the Iberian Peninsula and the Americas
