Quality of Life and Mortality in Seventeenth Century London and Dublin
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-44367-6 (ISBN)
To the average person living in the seventeenth century, life was a series of challenges. Mortality among the young was high, and for those who survived early childhood, death in their fifties was fairly typical. Men and women might aspire to a longer life span, but even the healthiest practices were no guarantee when the overall quality of life was low. With fatal illnesses exemplified by typhoid fever on the one hand, and the arrival of yersinia pestis - plague through ports on the Mediterranean at regular intervals of several years, on the other, mortality became a foreseeable event.
Thomas E. Jordan is Emeritus Curators' Professor of Child Development from the University of Missouri-St. Louis, where he served as Associate Vice Chancellor and Dean of the Graduate School. He is a recipient of the research prize of the Royal Society of Health for his longitudinal study of delayed mental development in children. Dr. Jordan is the author of several books on Ireland, including a three-volume series on the censuses of Ireland, 1821-1911.
