Health, poverty, and care across a long Middle Ages

Peregrine Horden’s collection examines how poverty, poor relief, illness, and health care intersected across Western Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East. Framed around a “long” Middle Ages, the volume brings these subjects together across a broad geographical and historical scope. Its focus on both hardship and systems of relief makes it a study of how health and social support were connected in medieval societies and their surrounding regions.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in medieval history and Europe or the Mediterranean.
  • Readers exploring the history of illness, health care, poverty, and poor relief.
  • Students seeking a historical perspective that includes Western Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East.
