By the end of World War I, a revolution in standards of personal hygiene had taken place. This book reveals how cleanliness came to symbolise a morally superior and civilised individual. It shows many interesting connections between our attitudes toward cleanliness and conceptions of the body, inhabited space, social class, gender, and race.
