“…In conjunction with these more metaphorical, “imagined immunities,” historians of medicine, literary historians, and cultural studies scholars have turned to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries when vaccination became popularized in Britain and America 16 . Edward Jenner, the Gloucestershire doctor credited with pioneering vaccination with his 1798 An Inquiry into the Causes and Effects of the Variolae Vaccinae , has since become the subject of multiple biographies, bibliographies, collected letters, and material and cultural histories of vaccination's global eradication of smallpox (Baxby, 1981; Bazin, 2000; Bennett, 2008, 2020; Bowers, 1981; Drewitt, 2013; Fisher, 1991; Glynn, Glynn, 2004; Jordanova, 2000; Le Fanu, 1951, 1985; Mallory‐Kani, 2014; Nussbaum, 2003; Rusnock, 2002, 2008, 2009; Saunders, 1982; Williams, 2010).

“…25 Following Felicity Nussbaum's work on bodily 'anomaly' and 'the human' in the eighteenth century and Gill-Peterson and C Riley Snorton's analyses of the relationship between trans history and the history of race and racism, I understand trans history as impossible to parse out from these intersecting forms of difference. 26 My aim, therefore, is to understand how these shifting markers of difference constituted 'the human' and what trans historians might gain from focusing on its boundaries.
