Product Description

Debunking the myth of medieval cities as apathetic in the face of filth and disease, Janna Coomans builds a new understanding of how preventative health practices shaped urban communities, with responsibilities negotiated among different groups, across areas ranging from water, food and sanitation to pigs, prostitutes and plague.
