Description

Pestilence in Medieval and Early Modern English Literature examines leprosy, bubonic plague, and syphilis across the Middle Ages and Renaissance to reveal how doctors, priests, and literary authors interpreted epidemic diseases through a moral lens. This Routledge publication explores how medieval and early modern societies understood contagious illness as divine punishment for human transgression, with medical and religious authorities tasked with reading sickness as a reflection of sin. By analysing specific illnesses and their literary representations, the book illuminates the social and cultural constructions of disease during this pivotal historical period. Part of the Studies in Medieval History and Culture series, it provides essential insight into how literature and medicine intersected in shaping responses to pestilence.
