Abstract "Plague and the City uncovers discourses of plague and anti-plague measures in the city during the medieval and early modern periods, and explores the connection between plague and urban environments including attempts by professional bodies to prevent or limit the outbreak of epidemic disease. It is ideal for students of early modern history, and of the early modern city and plague more specifically"-- Provided by publisher.
