Description

Explore the complex history of public health and social control with Sex, Sin and Suffering: Venereal Disease and European Society since 1870. Part of the Routledge Studies in the Social History of Medicine, this volume provides a comprehensive look at the impact of venereal disease across modern Europe and its former colonies. This collection brings together various studies to examine how legal, medical, and political authorities responded to the Great Scourge. By using a comparative perspective, the text reveals how these institutional responses helped shape and reflect broader social attitudes. Readers will gain insight into how disease influenced perceptions of sexuality and the social relationships tied to class, gender, generation, and race. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in the social history of medicine and the evolution of public health policy. It offers a deep look into how medical issues intersect with the social fabric of modern history.
