Internet Resources on the Black Death |
Ian Jessiman has written A General Study of the Plague in England 1539-1640, With a Specific Reference to Loughborough, which is quite good although it deals with a later episode of the plague's history. The Pestilence Tyme: England During the Plague, 1348-1350 is also quite good. The Plague and Public Health in Reniassance Europe contains a number of useful primary sources. See also Pistoia, "Ordinances for Sanitation in a Time of Mortality (1348)" at Fordham. Two texts worth reading are David Herlihy, The Black Death and the Transformation of the West (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1997) and Philip Ziegler, The Black Death (New York: Harper Torchbooks, 1969). | The History Guide | | copyright ?2000 Steven Kreis |
The
Black Death is not that well-represented on the Internet these days. Perhaps that will
change in the future. But if you are looking for further information, the following sites
may be of some help.
