This book gives an overview of the effects of The Black Death on the politics, culture, religious and social structures, and economies of England using both original extant commentaries and more recent scholarship. Commentary is used from contemporary monks such as Henry Knighton, Canon of St Mary's, Leicester, Geoffrey le Baker, clerk of Osney Abbey, Oxford, and Robert de Avesbury, monk of Malmesbury, amongst others. This book is a compact piece, documenting various aspects of the extent of the impact of the 1348 Plague on the way in which the country developed in the late Middle Ages and beyond.
