Description

Explore the complex history of medical care and social welfare in seventeenth-century France. This scholarly work examines how French cities managed poor relief and charitable healthcare during a period of significant reform. As new hospitals were constructed to house the able-bodied, existing institutions for the sick poor underwent major changes, including the hiring of new medical staff and an expansion of medical services. While many historians previously viewed these changes as a unified state-led strategy, this book examines recent scholarship that challenges that view. It looks closely at localized concerns and the resistance encountered when central policies were imposed on local communities. This text provides a detailed look at the relationship between the Crown, urban elites, and the poor, offering a deep dive into the history of medicine in context.
