It is the dryness of the air which distinguishes the Victorian Turkish bath from other related types—the vapour bath, the Russian steam bath, or the Finnish sauna. [...] This review is a slightly amended and updated version of an essay for Professor Gregory Claeys in the Introduction to Victorian studies module of the 1997 Royal Holloway University of London MA in Modern History: Power, Culture, Society (Course Director: Professor Penelope J Corfield). [self-description] Due to the lack of information on this special aspect of Victorian life, the author of this privately maintained website is giving a detailed introduction to the Victorian Turkish bath, as well as to the Victorian 'Turkish Bath Movement' in nineteenth-century England.
