Typhus ever after -- Conclusion: Plebeian and other bodies Britain had no idea that it would not see another plague after the horrors of 1666, and for a century and a half the fear of epidemic disease gripped and shaped British society. Plague doctors had long asserted that the bodies of the poor were especially prone to generating and spreading contagious disease, and British doctors and laypeople alike took those warnings to heart, guiding medical ideas of class throughout the eighteenth century. Dense congregations of the poor--in workhouses, hospitals, slums, courtrooms, markets, and especially prisons--were rendered sites of immense danger in the public imagination, and the fear that small outbreaks might run wild became a profound cultural force. Extensively researched, with a wide body of evidence, this book offers a fascinating look at how class was constructed physiologically and provides a new connection between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries and the ravages of plague and cholera, respectively. 1700-1799 fast Geschichte 1700-1800 gnd Geschichte 1666-1800 gnd Plague Social aspects fast Poor Health and hygiene fast Social classes Health aspects fast History, 18th Century Hygiene history Plague history Poverty history Social Conditions history Epidemie (DE-588)4137380-7 gnd Poor Health and hygiene Great Britain Social classes Health aspects Great Britain History 18th century Plague Social aspects Great Britain Soziale Ungleichheit (DE-588)4055736-4 gnd Plague history (DNLM)D010930Q000266 History, 18th Century (DNLM)D049671 Hygiene history (DNLM)D006920Q000266 Poverty history (DNLM)D011203Q000266 Social Conditions history (DNLM)D012924Q000266 Épidémies (RERO)A021008201 rero Maladies infectieuses (RERO)A021002108 rero Pauvres (RERO)A021010088 rero Classes populaires (RERO)A021092201 rero Physiologie humaine (RERO)A021029892 rero Médecine (RERO)A021022655 rero Peur collective (RERO)A021004861 rero 17e siècle (2e moitié)-18e siècle (RERO)A023290873 rero Großbritannien (DE-588)4022153-2 gnd Great Britain History 18th century United Kingdom (DNLM)D006113 Grande-Bretagne (IDREF)027228231 idref z 1700-1799 u XB 3691 idslu LR BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 NL201910 idslu L1 UFBI-201908 nebis EN UECON-20190827 nebis EN zbzmon201911l kobe zbzswk201911g brue idszbz Z2 011 IDS LU s1me rnv s2ht rnv UFBIMEDGES UFBI-201908 RERO RE61033 RE61033 RE610330001 VI 2 Grande-Bretagne SIEN BFLA 290010 VAUD iuhm iuhm HMA 27075 35n 810820001 NEBIS UECON UECON ULFRE ECON V15 0401 NEBIS UMBC UMBC ULCAR WZ 70.FA1-150 IDSLU LUUHL LUUHL UHFRE XB 3691 2019 NEBIS Z01 Z01 02 2019 A 37355 IDSBB B583 B583 MAG IMG CFA 2019 205 IDSLU 100 1- Siena Kevin Patrick 1969- (DE-588)138779287 Verfasser aut VAUD 100 1- Siena Kevin P. aut IDSBB 100 1- Siena Kevin Patrick 1969- (DE-588)138779287 Verfasser aut NEBIS 100 1- Siena Kevin Patrick 1969- (DE-588)138779287 Verfasser aut RERO 100 1- Siena Kevin Patrick 1969- (IDREF)089019687 aut NEBIS UZH50 EBI01 UMBC https://opac.nebis.ch/objects/pdf03/UMBC_978-0-300-23352-0_01.pdf Titelblatt und Inhaltsverzeichnis VIEW pdf IDSLU ILU50 ILU01 LUZHB https://www.ub.unibas.ch/tox/IDSLUZ/001360513/PDF pdf VIEW Inhaltsverzeichnis
