An innovative study of plague in medieval and early modern Europe reveals the changing perceptions surrounding epidemic disease over centuries and across national borders.
Lori Jones is a historian of medieval and early modern medicine at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa.
“Patterns of Plague is an innovative, well-crafted and important
study in intellectual, cultural, and medical history. Jones's
writing is sophisticated and her interpretations original and
well-substantiated.” Mary Lindemann, University of Miami
"Not only an excellent insight into how plague tracts can be
reinterpreted, but ... an example of how historical sources more
generally can be reassessed in fruitful and fascinating ways."
