Description
The Black Death: The Story of a Village 1345-1350 In 1345, a devastating epidemic swept through England, leaving a trail of death and destruction in its wake. This book tells the story of a typical English village, where the people lived and died in the midst of one of the greatest disasters in human history. Using exceptional documents that have survived from the time, historian John Hatcher brings to life the everyday experiences of the villagers, revealing what it was like to live and die in these terrifying times. Through the eyes of the villagers, Hatcher describes the events of the Black Death, from the initial outbreak to the long-term consequences. With meticulous attention to historical accuracy, he paints a vivid picture of life in a medieval parish, where the boundaries between life and death were constantly blurred.
