Citizens of Tournai, Belgium, bury plague victims

Over the past five years, we’ve all struggled to grapple with the realities of living with a global pandemic and its aftermath. It has caused intense grief as well as social and political upheavals. History can offer both context for this worldwide tragedy and a better appreciation of the humanity we share with those in the distant past.

Medievalist Paul B. Sturtevant explores the people and societies who experienced the Black Death, the hemispheric pandemic that ravaged the 14th-century world, and draws parallels between the individual and collective experiences of people seven centuries apart.
