Illustrated with tables, graphs, black-and-white drawings plus an illustrated frontispiece. "Health, Medicine and Mortality comprises a . collection of original studies concerned with a wide range of issues relating the health and disease in the sixteenth century. The book is concerned on the one hand with the state of health of the population and on the other with the agencies of health care. The first group of contributions provides, with respect to rural and urban populations, a detailed consideration of diet and nutrition, epidemics and crises of subsistence, the pattern of age-specific mortality, and the prevalent causes of disease and death. The second group of essays is concerned with popular medicine, medical practitioners in the urban and rural settings, and the training of humanistic physicians. This is the first volume to deal with such a wide spectrum of issues relating to health, disease and medicine within the community for any period of English history. It is also the first to adopt throughout quantitative bases for the problems under investigation. Although specifically addressed to the English situation, the book will attract general interest as a model investigation into medicine in other western European societies. The work included in the volume merits comparison with demographical studies undertaken by French social historians. The topics discussed are increasingly recognized as being among the most important aspects of social history." - from the inner front jacket flap. …
