The Black Death and its Influence on the English Society

Abstract:
Práce se zabývá morovou ranou - tzv. "černou smrtí", která zasáhla Anglii ve 14. století. Podrobně rozebírá příčiny vzniku moru a dále socioekonomické a kulturní změny, kterým byla společnost nucena čelit. V závěru je černá smrt porovnána s pozdější nákazou ze 17. století v Londýně, zobrazenou v díle Daniela Defoa.
