Review
"The amount of work Dobson undertook for this volume is phenomenal..." Isis
"It is an impressive book, with evidence drawn from parish registers, diaries, journals, church records, news accounts, official surveys, tax records, census data, and many other sources. The thoroughness of Mary Dobson's research allowed her to draw a complete picture of death and disease over two centuries and to understand the relationship between the environment and health. Dobson's book is primarily a history of death and disease, but it is much more. It contains a wealth of information about demography, geography, and society. It will stand as a valuable resource for historians of the early modern era." Journal of Social History
"...breaks new ground by promoting regional historical demography." Journal of Economic History
"...a remarkable book that deserves an audience much broader than that of strictly historical demographers." American Historical Review
"Dobson's study is an essential reference work not only for `historical demographers, medical historians, geographers, and epidemiologists,' but for all scholars of early modern English society and culture." The Historian
"Contours of Death and Disease presents its extraordinary array of demographic and descriptive information in creative and compelling ways." Historian
"...quantitative analysis are informed and enriched by a wide range of qualitative research..." Michael Zell, Journal of Modern History
