The Impact of Plague in Tudor and Stuart England Bewertungen

This is a harrowing and compelling book. It is an exceptionally fine piece of social history; a sensitive, mature and deeply humane exploration of a social problem and its consequences for social history of the period. * Keith Wrightson, Times Literary Supplement *
I have read this book with pleasure and admiration: pleasure in the rich and interesting detail; admiration for a scholarly work on an important subject of English social history. * Hugh Trevor-Roper, Sunday Times *
Paul Slack has written the definitive social history of Tudor and Stuart plague. * Times Higher Education Supplement *
