Tapping into a combination of court documents, urban statutes,
material artefacts, health guides and treatises, Policing the Urban
Environment in Premodern Europe offers a unique perspective on how
premodern public authorities tried to create a clean, healthy
environment. Overturning many preconceptions about medieval dirt
and squalor, it presents the most outstanding recent scholarship on
how public health norms were enforced in the judicial, religious
and socio-cultural sphere before the advent of modern medicine and
the nation-state, crossing geographical and linguistic boundaries
and engaging with factors such as spiritual purity, civic pride and
good neighbourliness.
