Tuchman Barbara W.
Summary
Barbara W. Tuchman: The Distant Mirror - The ill-fated 14th Century
This book arose out of a desire to explore the effects on society of the most devastating calamity in recorded history - that is, the Black Death of 1348-50, which killed about a third of the population between India and Iceland. (…) The answer turned out to be unattainable, because the 14th century suffered so many "wonderful and great deaths and troubles" (in the words of a contemporary), that the riots in it cannot be traced to every single cause; they were hoof marks of more than four horsemen from the apparition of St. John, because now there were seven of them - plague, war, taxes, banditry, bad administration, rebellion and schism in the Church. All evils except the plague arose from conditions that existed before the Black Death and continued after the period of the plague had passed.
