内容説明・目次
内容説明
The Great Famine (1315-1322), lived on for centuries in the minds of many, who recalled tales of widespread hunger, class warfare, epidemic disease, high mortality, and unspeakable crimes. In this volume, William Jordan explores the famine from Ireland to western Poland, from Scandinavia to central France and western Germany. He presents a cultural history of medieval community life, drawing his evidence from such sources as meteorological and agricultural records, accounts kept at monasteries providing for the needy, and documentation of military campaigns. The social and environmental factors that caused this particular disaster and allowed it to happen for so long are investigated, along with why certain responses to the famine failed.
