Description

Urban Bodies: Communal Health in Late Medieval English Towns and Cities by Carole Rawcliffe overturns the common idea that medieval urban life was nothing but filthy and insanitary. This pioneering study provides a fresh perspective on the history of public health in England. Building on her previous scholarly work regarding English medicine, hospitals, and leper welfare, Rawcliffe expands her research to examine how towns and cities managed their environments. The book presents a convincing argument that through the combined efforts of civic authorities, the crown, mercantile elites, and popular interests, English urban centers actively worked toward a healthier and less polluted environment. This work is an essential read for those interested in world history and the evolution of communal health systems.
