Marina Soroka

The Summer Capitals of Europe, 1814-1919 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book is about the European health spas of the nineteenth century: what they were, how they operated, what life was like there and how their functions evolved to the point where their original medicinal purpose was relegated to a secondary place by the unintended uses of spas as stages of social and political interactions, particularly for the governing classes. Every summer between 1814 and 1914 (and in a few cases during World War I) continental watering places became a microcosm of cosmopolitan aristocratic Europe, incorporating its conventions, tastes, concerns and interests.
