Description

Explore how French cities transformed poor relief and charitable healthcare during the seventeenth century in this scholarly examination of Hospital Politics in Seventeenth-Century France. The book investigates the building of new hospitals, the confinement of able-bodied poor, and the expansion of medical services in existing institutions serving the sick poor. Rather than presenting these reforms as a unified state-led policy, this work challenges conventional assumptions by examining localised concerns and resistance to centrally imposed policies. Published by Routledge as part of the History of Medicine in Context series, this book engages critically with how urban elites and the Crown negotiated healthcare administration, offering historians and students of medicine valuable insights into the complex interplay between institutional reform, social welfare, and political authority in early modern France.

Key Features

Hospital Politics in Seventeenth-Century France analyses how urban centres restructured poor relief and medical provision during this transformative period.

The book examines new hospital construction and the shift towards expanding medical services within institutions serving the sick poor.

Routledge's History of Medicine in Context series positions this work within broader scholarly debates about healthcare policy and implementation.

This study challenges state-led policy narratives by uncovering localised resistance and concerns in how French cities administered charitable health care.

The book investigates the negotiation between the Crown and urban elites over hospital governance and the confinement strategies used for the able-bodied poor.
