{"product_id":"the-black-death-and-the-david-herlihy-9780674076136","title":"The Black Death and the Transformation of the West","description":"In this small book David Herlihy makes subtle and subversive inquiries that challenge historical thinking about the Black Death. Looking beyond the view of the plague as unmitigated catastrophe, Herlihy finds evidence for its role in the advent of new population controls, the establishment of universities, the spread of Christianity, the dissemination of vernacular cultures, and even the rise of nationalism. This book, which displays a distinguished scholar's masterly synthesis of diverse materials, reveals that the Black Death can be considered the cornerstone of the transformation of Europe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Herlihy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674076133\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674076136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.12h x 5.72w x 0.36d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/04\/1997 pg. 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/15\/1997 pg. 1276\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/1997 pg. 201\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/1997 pg. 100","brand":"David Herlihy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44598711550207,"sku":"9780674076136","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52b2bce4-7c02-4e21-a04d-14a922b75959.jpg?v=1702384007","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-black-death-and-the-david-herlihy-9780674076136","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
