He doesn't mention the actual plague much, as the other reviewers point out, probably because, as the title says, it's more about the time after the plague. The author looks a lot at the long term demographic and economic effects of the plague, which he argues didn't really have an effect until the 1370s. He does ramble a lot, but honestly, what are you going to say about a not-terribly-well documented event?
