Written Assignment

<p>You will explore the world created by the experience of the Black Death in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. You will focus on England in Europe but will broaden your focus to explore connections with the wider world. It will start with the Europe of the early fourteenth century – a place of high population and food shortage, and then move to investigate how that changed with the population crash of the Black Death. The module will thus reflect on sustainability and global citizenship in an historical context. You will use digital sources such as British History online, JISC Historic Books, and British Library Digitised Manuscripts.</p>
