Rabies was a constant threat in Victorian Britain. It gripped the popular imagination, not least because its human form - hydrophobia - produced the worst of all possible deaths with the mind and body out of control. This book explores the changing understanding of rabies amongst veterinarians, doctors, animal welfare campaigners, state officials, politicians and the public. We also tell the story of how rabies was eradicated around 1900 and kept out of the country throughout the Twentieth-century.
