Description
Sweating Sickness in a Nutshell by Claire Ridgway provides a concise overview of the mystery disease that affected England between 1485 and 1551. This book examines the historical sources to understand the symptoms, treatments, theories about its cause, and why it primarily affected English people. The author's approach is grounded in good history and sound research. By exploring the five epidemics of sweating sickness, Ridgway sheds light on a lesser-known period in English history.
