Lady Montagu
Letters for and against Small Pox Inoculations
Blog 2: You read in Davidson about smallpox and its effects on Native American communities. Smallpox once ravaged the world. After reading the primary sources analyze the letters advocating for inoculations and those against. What are the main arguments for each? As a historian note who writes each letter; their gender, class, occupation, religion etc? Based on their gender, class, occupation, religion etc can you discuss any biases in their perspectives? Try to analyze why their point of view fits their social and economic class. Lady Montagu, an English woman, toured Turkey and wrote about inoculations as well. While her letter seems to be a praise of Islamic medicine can you dig deeper and pull out any biases in her language. She is after all an upper class English woman at a time when England ruled most of the world. Does she really see Turkish culture as superior to her own? Does she argue for this new procedure, inoculations? If yes why? If no, why? What does she believe might be a major hurdle keeping doctors from accepting this procedure? Remember to support your analysis with cited facts, details, names, locations as well as quotes.
