The Great Mortality: An Intimate History Of The Black Death, The Most Devastating Plague Of All TimeKelly, John
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"Cantor opts for a concrete personal approach to larger historical issues....This is an imaginative approach, which makes for a vivid and memorable text."
Eamon Duffy, New York Review of Books, 05/23/2002
Review:"[Cantor is] a very engaging talker, and he...tells us about the scandals and the clothes. But, as the title of his book announces, what he mostly wants to talk about is the consequences of the plague--the large changes it wrought in politics, in economics, in intellectual and religious life--and he makes these as interesting as the scandals....Throughout the book..., Cantor is at his best when writing about human psychology, especially as its medieval contours differed from ours."
