The theoretical side is balanced by an ‘on the ground’ examination of rural life in Durham an attempt to capture the raw emotions and decisions of the period. No one has really examined this; most studies are speculative, relying on theory or statistics, rather than tracing the history of real people, both in the immediate aftermath of the plague, and in the longer term. Durham is fortunate in that records survive in abundance for this period; most other studies of rural society end at 1300 or 1348.
As such, this book fills a major gap in medieval English history while at the same time grappling with major theories of change for this transformative period.
