| |  | | | In Brief
"Beginning in 1347 and until the end of the 17th century, the {bubonic} plague returned again and again to devastate the major human settlements of Europe. After each wave, the population collapse was so immediate and its consequences so drastic that {it} altered political authority, leveled feudal barriers, and changed the entire social, economic, artistic, and religious texture of Europe. . . . Platt examines the changes brought on by the plague in England. The focus is on the first 150 years." (Choice) Bibliography. Index.

"What does it matter how many people died in the Black Death? I shall argue in this book that it matters a great deal. But there is truth also in the view that 'so much of the population was surplus by the fourteenth century that the early famines [of 1315-17] and the mid-century pestilences of [1348-9] were more purgative than toxic'." -- Colin Platt
