Desc: | THE BLACK DEATH AND THE PLAGUE IN EUROPE: From 1348 to 1350, the Black Death ravaged the population of Europe, leaving piles of corpses, broken families, economic disruption, and new questions about medicine, faith, and community in its wake. Outbreaks of the bubonic plague would continue to devastate and terrify Europe through the beginning of the eighteenth century. This course will take advantage of the unusually varied and compelling sources created in these periods of crisis to examine how historians use and evaluate evidence. Topics covered include: demography, the history of medicine, social and religious responses to the plague, public health and community control, and the effects of plague on relationships between the sick and the healthy, elites and commoners, town and country, and Christians and Jews. PREREQUISITE: Sophomore standing or permission of the instructor. Pre-modern, Europe. Section 1 is crosslisted with L85 301R.In person (remote welcome). Synchronous each meeting. |
