More Citations for the Hygiene research

[bunnyjadwiga]

Not all of these have been helpful, but I'm still chasing citations through them:

These only have a few useful references:
Palmer, Roy. The Water Closet: A New History. (Newton Abbot, England: David & Charles, 1973)
Horan, Julie L. The Porcelain God: A Social History of the Toilet. (Secaucus, New Jersey: Carol Publishing Group, 1996)
Dobell, Steve. Down the Plughole: An irreverent history of the bath. (London: Pavilion Books, 1996).

This one is useless for my purposes, but full of pictures of 19th and 20th century products and advertising that is fascinating:
Lupton, Ellen, and J. Abbott Miller. The Bathroom, the Kitchen and the Aesthetics of Waste: A Process of Elimination. (New York: Kiosk, 1992)

Especially useful for the article on Pompeiian Private Baths:
Koloski-Ostrow, Ann Olga, ed. Water Use and Hydraulics in the Roman City, Archaeological Institute of America, Boston MA, Colloquia and Conference Papers, Number 3. (Dubuque, Iowa: Kendall/Hunt, 2001)

I thought you'd be tickled to know, I was doing a quick lookup of appropriate fabric colors for 15th c. Italy (for a gown to fit me AND tadpole in it), and came across a page that had also link to your article about period bathing and bath herbs...I wish I'd had the mental space to write down which article and the page instead of just going "hey, Alex! Look! It's Jadwiga!"

(His response was "Are you sure about that shade of rose madder? It fades." I whacked him with a shoe...)
