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 afresh, as a gripping, intimate narrative. Cantor is a professor of Sociology, History, and Comparative Literature at the New York University. But what the Plague really was, and how it made history, remain shrouded in a haze of myths. The details of the Plague etched in the minds of terrified schoolchildren - the hideous black welts, the high fever, and the final, awful end by respiratory failure - are more or less accurate. Much of what we know about the greatest medical disaster ever, the Black Plague of the fourteenth century, is wrong. Includes bibliographical references (pages 221-230) and index.
