After the Black Death, Second Edition

George Huppert

Description

A new edition of the classic survey of Europe from the 14th to the 17th centuries.

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
