This reluctance to bathe emerged despite longstanding\nJudeo-Christia n traditions that equated bodily cleanliness with spiritual purity and a vi brant medieval culture of bathing in public bath houses\, private baths\, a nd mineral springs. What happened to\nturn people against the bath? How and why did they become convinced\, several centuries later\, that bathing was not only not dangerous\, but a key to good health and moral virtue?
\ n
\nThis talk addresses these major shifts in the history of the body\ , with special attention to the role of cultures in contact in the early At lantic and the subsequent transformation in women’s\nreputations for bodi ly cleanliness. By the middle of the nineteenth century\, bathing had been reinstalled as a cornerstone of good health and hygiene. Middle-class women were newly defined by their\nresponsibility for enforcing standards of cle anliness in their homes and for spreading this ethos to the homes of people too poor to claim the protections of privacy. Like practices of body care\ , the\nideals for health that emerged in the nineteenth century reflected t he new realities of urban life and a demanding\, volatile\, capitalist econ omy.
