In the fourteenth century the Old World witnessed a series of
profound and abrupt changes in the trajectory of long-established
historical trends. Transcontinental networks of exchange fractured
and an era of economic contraction and demographic decline dawned
from which Latin Christendom would not begin to emerge until its
voyages of discovery at the end of the fifteenth century. In a
major new study of this 'Great Transition', Bruce Campbell assesses
the contributions of commercial recession, war, climate change, and
eruption of the Black Death to a far-reaching reversal of fortunes
from which no part of Eurasia was spared. The book synthesises a
wealth of new historical, palaeo-ecological and biological
evidence, including estimates of national income, reconstructions
of past climates, and genetic analysis of DNA extracted from the
teeth of plague victims, to provide a fresh account of the
creation, collapse and realignment of Western Europe's late
medieval commercial economy.
