Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, this book explains what made skin newsworthy in Victorian Britain. Narratives related to skin, such as wounds caused by corporal punishment, plagues resulting from neglect in workhouses, and occupational skin diseases, emerged as defining features of Victorian newspapers.
