The very name Black Death sends shivers up spines, and summons up
the worst nightmares. In the Middle Ages, the onset of this
mysterious plague that killed millions of victims, many within a
few hours, spread fear, panic and self-loathing. This colourfully
illustrated book, revised for 2019, recalls the history, the
horrors, and the heroism encountered when this mysterious plague
struck Britain in 1348-49. With one third of the population wiped
out by a disease so swift that neither prayer nor potions could
check its progress, this was indeed catastrophe on a nationwide
scale which shook the very foundations of feudal society. And yet
society survived. Perhaps this is the ultimate hopeful message of a
catastrophe now as much myth as history.
