This book is the first comprehensive study of Polish hospitals from the high Middle Ages through the eve of the French Revolution, a subject virtually unknown in the Anglophone and Polish historiographies. The work examines the ways in which the conflicts between the Church, the nobility, and municipal authorities shaped Poland’s hospitals across six centuries.
Reviews
“. . . [a] thorough and scrupulous study grounded in an immense store of primary source materials . . .” – Prof. Margaret L. King, Brooklyn College
“Roczniak’s examination of documents has been made in the light of a wider, Western European context, which makes this book very appealing to many audiences––it is a significant contribution to both social and institutional history.” – Prof. Robert A. Maryks, Bronx Community College
“One of Dr. Roczniak’s most original contributions is his focus on female donors. With the simultaneous growth of women’s history and civil society studies, American and European scholars have turned their attention to the role of women in the creation, maintenance and promotion of charitable institutions. Although Russian women’s efforts have been documented by Adele Lindenn-ieyr and others, Preserving the Poor fills a major gap in the literature by exploring women’s roles in a relatively unexamined area of Eastern Europe.” – Prof. Kathleen D. McCarthy, The Graduate Center, CUNY
