Sanitary reform was one of the great debates of the nineteenth
century. Unprecedented urban growth significantly increased the
spread of disease. This presented new challenges to public health
not least because the relationship between sanitary conditions and
disease was not universally acknowledged. Opinions from those
involved in medicine, engineering, civic development, architecture
and politics are all represented, providing a wide overview of
Victorian society. This six volume edition, published in two parts,
makes available for the first time a modern, edited collection of
rare nineteenth-century documents specifically addressing sanitary
reform. The collection includes material on Glasgow, Edinburgh,
Manchester, Dublin and London, giving a nationwide perspective on
the conditions of British urban life. It covers burial, sewerage,
water supply, public baths, housing and inspection. The material
comes from newspapers and journals, reports of Medical Health
Officers and government agencies, architectural guides and
promotional literature from sanitary communities. This unique
resource is an invaluable tool for researchers of the History of
Science and Medicine and Victorian Studies.
