| 520 | _a"The Sweating Sickness in England" by Francis Cornelius Webb is a historical account published in the mid-19th century, specifically in 1857. This publication provides an in-depth examination of the English Sweating Sickness, a series of devastating epidemics that affected England primarily in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Webb's work focuses on the origins, characteristics, and mortality associated with the disease, which struck fear and confusion throughout England during its outbreaks. In the book, Webb describes the Sweating Sickness as a sudden and severe malady that emerged around 1485, noted for its swift progression and high fatality rate. The narrative details how the sickness particularly affected strong and healthy men while cutting across social classes, claiming victims from both wealthy palaces and humble cottages. Through historical accounts and references from chroniclers of the time, he illustrates the widespread panic and societal impact of multiple outbreaks, culminating in its final notable wave in 1551. Webb's thorough exploration of the sickness not only offers insights into the medical understanding of epidemics at the time but also paints a vivid picture of the fear and devastation it wreaked on communities.
