Opis

The Black Death was the worst pandemic in recorded history. This book presents a major reevaluation of its immediate impact and longer-term consequences in England.

Recenzje

One might be forgiven for doubting whether a genuinely fresh take on such a well-trodden topic was possible. Yet Bailey meets this challenge with astonishing aplomb, demolishing a series of orthodox views on the period via re-readings of the huge secondary literature combined with a wealth of new primary evidence.
