Kosso, Cynthia - Scott, Anne (eds.), The Nature and Function of Water, Baths, Bathing and Hygiene from Antiquity through the Renaissance, Leiden, Brill - Boston (Technology and Change in History, 11), 2009, 538 pp.
- Resum
- hese essays offer scholars, teachers, and students a new basis for discussing attitudes toward, and technological expertise concerning, water in antiquity through the early Modern period, and they examine historical water use and ideology both diachronically and cross regionally. Topics include gender roles and water usage; attitudes, practices, and innovations in baths and bathing; water and the formation of identity and policy; ancient and medieval water sources and resources; and religious and literary water imagery. The authors describe how ideas about the nature and function of water created and shaped social relationships, and how religion, politics, and science transformed, and were themselves transformed by, the manipulation of, uses of, and disputes over water in daily life, ceremonies, and literature.
