About the book

The Black Death examines the devastating plague pandemic that swept through Europe in the fourteenth century and killed a vast proportion of the population. The book explores the disease's spread, contemporary reactions and its enormous social, economic and religious consequences. Beyond the immediate human catastrophe, the plague transformed labour, settlement patterns and attitudes toward authority, death and faith throughout medieval Europe.
