This book is a sociological examination of the Black Plague's effect on medieval Europe. I read it because I am interested in the Plague, but it is barely mentioned. I learned a couple of new things in this book, but I found it rather dry and tedious. There is a lot of name-dropping of Kings, Princes, gentry, and courtiers and not remembering these individuals from history classes, I found it similarly hard to follow. This is a good read if you're into medieval Europe, but not so much for the plague.
