About this product
Product Information
The Black Death remains the greatest disaster to befall humanity, killing about half the population of the planet in the 14th century. John Hatcher recreates everyday medieval life in a parish in Suffolk, from which an exceptional number of documents survive. This enables us to view events through the eyes of its residents, revealing in unique detail what it was like to live and die in these terrifying times. With scrupulous attention to historical accuracy, John Hatcher describes what the parishioners experienced, what they knew and what they believed. His narrative is peopled with characters developed from the villagers named in the actual town records and a series of dramatic scenes portray how contemporaries must have experienced the momentous events.Product Identifiers

Historian uses history to bring period to life
This is a scholarly work. The historian uses primary sources to establish the basis of the fictional tale that he will tell. This makes it genuine historical fiction rather than fantasy. I found the tale fascinating and some details compelling. That does not mean that I am persuaded by all of it; if I was that would be the end of the history of this period; but I do find it all persuasive.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
