Description
The Scourging Angel: The Black Death in the British Isles By Benedict Gummer The Black Death, which ravaged Medieval Europe, is one of history's most devastating events. This book tells the story of Britain before, during and after this catastrophe, set against a backdrop of empty homes, half-built cathedrals and cities gripped by fear, shock and paranoia. As the disease spread through the British Isles in 1350, it left an unimaginable trail of death and destruction. Yet, despite the scale of devastation, Britain showed remarkable resilience. The story of the Black Death is ultimately one of survival, with many finding opportunity in the midst of disaster. This book explores the impact of the Black Death on communities and society, revealing a complex and multifaceted history that sheds new light on this pivotal moment in British history.
