Health Care and Poor Relief in Protestant Europe 1500-1700 (Hardcover, Annotated Ed)

The problem of the poor grew in the early modern period as populations rose dramatically and created many extra pressures on the state. In Northern Europe, cities went through a period of rapid growth and central and local administrations saw considerable expansion. "Health Care and Poor Relief in Protestant Europe, 1500-1700" provides an outline of the developments in health care and poor relief in the economically important regions of Northern Europe in this period when urban poverty became a generally recognized problem for both magistracies and governments. With contributions from international and leading scholars in the field, this volume draws on research into local conditions; maps general patterns of development and explores the similarities and differences between the local and national approaches to health care provision and poverty.
