HS 332 - Living and Dying in 17th and 18th Century London

This six-week course will study the social history of London from the middle of the seventeenth to the end of the eighteenth centuries, starting with the Great Plague of 1665, the Great Fire of 1666 and the rebuilding of the City. Students will learn about medicine and mortalities, the circumstances around the abandonment of infants and the development of Bloomsbury (where this class will be held). The course will conclude by discussing female criminality by considering case studies from the Newgate Calendar and the Proceedings of the Old Bailey for evidence of the punishment of 'unruly women.'
