Raza Kolb explores the political and conceptual stakes of global health commentators' readiness to exploit the deep-seated terror of a Muslim planet, sketched out in Romantic shades by Shelley during the Greek Revolution of the 1820s, and reappearing in the invocation of "Viral Sovereignty" as a global threat that public health officials compared to terrorism. In her essay, Raza Kolb argues for the ongoing necessity of postcolonial methods of reading in nineteenth-century studies, and calls on Victorian studies to reckon more robustly and generously with "other" nineteenth-centuryists. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Victorian Studies is the property of Indiana University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
