This book explores reactions to and representations of natural
disasters in early modern Europe. The contributors illustrate how
the cultural production of the period - in manuals, treatises,
sermons, travelogues and fiction - grappled with environmental
catastrophe. Crucially, they interrogate how people in the early
modern era rationalized and mediated the threat of events like
plagues, great frosts, storms, floods and earthquakes. A vital
contribution to environmental history, this book highlights the
parallels between early modern responses to natural disaster and
climate anxiety in our own era.
