Praise for the first edition:

To give a sense of immediacy and vividness to the long period in such a short space is a major achievement. -History

Huppert's book is a little masterpiece every teacher should welcome. -Renaissance Quarterly

A work of genuine social history, After the Black Death leads the reader into the real villages and cities of European society. For this second edition, George Huppert has added a new chapter on the incessant warfare of the age and thoroughly updated the bibliographical essay.
