In 1768, with smallpox ravaging Russia, Catherine the Great sent for an English Quaker doctor, Thomas Dimsdale, who had developed a pioneering treatment: inoculation with the disease itself to create an immunity. Using Dimsdale family correspondence and his wife Elizabeth’s journal, Lucy Ward offers a gripping account of this medically and politically perilous mission, as Catherine volunteered to set an example to her people by becoming a patient herself.
