This book is intended for undergraduate/6th form courses on medieval England, option courses on demography, medicine, family and social focus.

Customer Reviews
Worth the attention of any Medievalist,
An extremely lucid, and yet concise, book dealing with a complex period of English history. It combines well both the disciplines of Archaeology and History. Forget 'Ziegler' this is the best summary of the effects (or not) of the 'Black Death' that I have read to date.
