This 1997 book provides a penetrating account of death and disease
in England during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Using a
wide range of sources for the south-east of England, the author
highlights the tremendous variation in levels of mortality across
geographical contours and across two centuries. She explores the
epidemiological causes and consequences of these mortality
variations, and offers the reader a fascinating insight into the
way patients and practitioners perceived, understood and reacted to
the multitude of fevers, poxes and plagues in past times. She
examines, in particular, the significance of malaria in English
demographic history, and provides a detailed account of the history
of this once endemic disease. This broad-ranging and stimulating
study will be of interest to historical demographers, medical
historians, geographers and epidemiologists.
