Typhoid in Uppingham by Nigel Richardson
After the Public Heath Acts of 1872 and 1875, British local authorities bore statutory obligations to carry out sanitary improvements. Richardson explores public health strategy and central-local government relations during the mid-nineteenth-century, using the experience of Uppingham, England, as a micro-historical case study.
'meticulously researched and carefully analysed.. manages to illuminate the wider picture of medicine and public health in rural England in the mid-Victorian period.' Victorian Studies 'Not only is Nigel Richardson's book a comprehensive and detailed account of this traumatic episode in the school's history; it is also an extremely creditable contribution to the wider literature on public health in Victorian Britain.'

Nigel Richardson is former head of the Perse School in Cambridge.
