Black Death: The Plague that Changed Europe
Illustrated Lecture |
|
|
The 14th century was witness to wars, economic uncertainty, social problems, and the bubonic plague or Black Death -- a pandemic of such proportion that it decimated more than 40% of the European population. In this insightful lecture, Stefan Zimmers (professor of history, Georgetown University) reveals that despite its destructive path, the plague also became a catalyst for change within religion, art, literature, and social customs, setting the stage for the Renaissance.
