Abstract

[In this chapter I explore the political and material context of a post-war Spain suffering the tragic loss of civil rights and material goods under the Franco dictatorship. I review the early days of penicillin, utilising material published by fellow historians of science and medicine, such as the pioneering contributions of Gladys Hobby and Robert Bud. The circumstances surrounding the first batches of penicillin to reach Spain will be narrated, along with initial public revelations about its miraculous properties. The main objective of this book will then be outlined: to reflexively explore the historiographical arguments—discussed throughout the manuscript—on the circulation of penicillin through time and space during the long post-war.]
