A major new account of the fourteenth-century crisis when climate change, disease and a transformation of the military and political balance of power reshaped the medieval world. Bruce Campbell reveals how these factors combined in a devastating succession of famines, floods, human and animal mortality, wars and financial crises.
1. Interactions between nature and society in the late medieval world; 2. Efflorescence: the enabling environment and the rise of Latin Christendom; 3. A precarious balance: mounting economic vulnerability in an era of increasing climatic instability and re-emergent pathogens; 4. Tipping point: war, climate change and plague shift the balance; 5. Recession: the inhibiting environment and Latin Christendom's late medieval demographic and economic contraction; Epilogue: theory, contingency, conjuncture and the Great Transition; Bibliography; Index.
