To Blight With Plague - Studies in a Literary Theme (Paperback, New Ed)

"A sensitive, intelligent book."
--Sander L. Gilman, Professor of Humane Studies, Cornell University

How is AIDS treated in the contemporary plays of Larry Kramer and William Hoffman? How important is the Black Death to a reader of Boccaccio's Decameron? How have the historical and current outbreaks of contagious disease affected the creation of literature, and how has this literature in turn shaped our response to disease? Original and moving, To Blight with Plague addresses these and other central questions raised by literary works whose main themes revolve around contagious, epidemic disease and its social and psychological consequences.
