Originalni opis knjige
Praise for the first edition: „An eminently approachable text…To give a sense of immediacy and vividness to the long period in such a short space is a major achievement.“ (Thomas Munck, „History“). „Huppert's book is a little masterpiece every teacher should welcome.“ (Arthur J. Slavin, „Renaissance Quarterly“). „[T]his superb synthesis will surely stand out …[It is] beautifully written, soundly researched, and highly knowledgeable.“ („Book Review“). „…thoroughly engrossing …an excellent introduction.“ („Libraries and Culture“). „Lively and clear enough for undergraduates; sophisticated and analytical enough for mature scholars.“ (Donald Weinstein, University of Arizon). A work of genuine social history, „After The Black Death“ leads the reader, as concretely as possible, into the real villages and cities of European society. This book begins with a description of family and community structure, social conflict, and religious beliefs. Once the fundamental traits of both rural and urban society are noted, it considers the elites, armed rebellion, poverty, criminality, sexual behavior, and marriage practices.For this second edition, George Huppert has added a new chapter on the incessant warfare that was characteristic of this age and on its transformation by the new commercial capitalism. He has also thoroughly revised and updated the bibliographical essay.
