In the Wake of the Plague: The Black Death and the World It Made
of Norman F. Cantor
Description
Ring around the rosies,A pocketful of posies,Ashes, ashes,We all fall down.â"Ring Around the Rosies," a children's rhyme about the Black DeathThe Black Death was the fourteenth century's equivalent of a nuclear war. It wiped out one-third of Europe's population, taking some 20 million lives. And yet, most of what we know about it is wrong. The details of the Plague etched in the minds of terrified schoolchildrenâthe hideous black welts, the high fever, and the awful end by respiratory failureâare more or less accurate. But what the Plague really was and how it made history remain shrouded in a haze of myths.Now, Norman Cantor, the premier historian of the Middle Ages, draws together the most recent scientific discoveries and groundbreaking historical research to pierce the mist and tell the story of the Black Death as a gripping, intimate narrative.
