Description:

In the SUTTON ILLUSTRATED HISTORY PAPERBACKS series Ziegler's study synthesizes the records of contemporary chroniclers which covered the social and economic upheaval caused by the Black Death in the mid 1300's and the work of subsequent historians to give an overview of this period of history.

Synopsis:

By the autumn of 1347, the Black Death had reached the shores of the eastern Mediterranean, causing social and economic upheavals on an unparalleled scale. Philip Ziegler's acclaimed exploration of this crucial event synthesizes the records of the contemporary chroniclers and the work of later historians in a masterly volume which is widely regarded as a classic. The book takes in the whole of Europe and considers the lasting effects of the Black Death on society and its contribution to the disintegration of an age.
