About the author

John Grove

1815–1895

Best known for a strikingly early argument for germ-based disease, this 19th-century medical writer explored epidemics with a mix of historical reading, observation, and bold reasoning. His surviving work offers a fascinating glimpse of how ideas about contagion were taking shape before modern microbiology was fully established.
