The Black Death, the great epidemic of 1347-1350’s was the most profound epidemiological-ecological crisis Europe had ever experienced. Between 30 and 70% of the population of the western world vanished. In the wake of this demographic disaster economic, psychological, social, literary and even artistic processes were profoundly altered. This epidemic can be traced through extensive primary sources ranging from literature to art history - from population statistics through village desertions. This course will introduce these data and examine the consequences of the Black Death.
