King Death

This illustrated survey examines what it was actually like to live with plague and the threat of plague in late-medieval and early modern England.; Colin Platt's books include 'The English Medieval Town', 'Medieval England: A Social History and Archaeology from the Conquest to 1600' and 'The Architecture of Medieval Britain: A Social History' which won the Wolfson Prize for 1990. This book is intended for undergraduate/6th form courses on medieval England, option courses on demography, medicine, family and social focus. The 'black death' and population decline is central to A-level syllabuses on this period.
