In this unit, students explore the deadly plague pandemic in world-historical perspective, examining primary sources from both Europe and the Middle East, including textual, pictorial, and statistical materials. They will relate the spread and impact of the disease, as well as varying human responses to it, to the social and cultural conditions prevailing in the mid-fourteenth-century. The sources will imaginatively lead students into world different from their own while suggesting contemporary parallels.
