'Indeed, in what for me is the strongest part of Victorian Contagion, Chen deploys the methods of literary criticism to uncover the discursive maneuvers by which a secular work like Chadwick's 1842 Report on the Sanitary Conditions of the Labouring Population of Great Britain attains powerful moral effects.' Sambudha Sen, Shiv Nadar University
