"""The Smallpox Report is thoroughly researched and impressive. Fuson Wang demonstrates familiarity with many classics of British literary Romanticism, including works on Romantic literature and vaccination, literature and medicine, and narrative medicine. He builds his authority and shows a mastery of his topics, both broadly and specifically considered. The use of theoretical texts to support the book's interpretation shows an intellectual curiosity that will surely appeal to many scholars."" - Michelle Faubert, Professor of Romantic Literature, University of Manitoba ""Compelling and timely, The Smallpox Report presents a key episode in the history of medicine, the emergence of smallpox vaccination and its attendant social, cultural, and political fallout. Fuson Wang returns us to a re-examination of the current deeply polarized and polarizing public discourse about vaccines and scientific authority - most visible, of course, in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic - urging us to see both sides of the debates as products of the historical wins and losses detailed within the chapters of this book."" - James Allard, Associate Professor of English, Brock University"
