Notes
Ellen Wurtzel Article Published in "French Historical Studies"
Associate Professor Ellen Wurtzel published an article in the August 2023 issue of French Historical Studies, entitled "Passionate Encounters, Public Healing. Medieval Urban Bathhouses in Northern France." Using medical treatises, trial records, literary sources, and archival documentation, the article argues that, far from being sites primarily associated with crime and prostitution, bathhouses encouraged sociability, brought disparate groups together, and were in fact essential to the circulation and well‐being of people in medieval cities as places of emotional community.
