The Black Death (41 page)
Authors: Philip Ziegler
It would be absurd to attempt to list all the general works on the period which have contributed something to this book; equally it would be churlish not to mention at least:
| Bennett, H. S. | Life on the English Manor, Cambridge, 1956 |
| Bridbury, A. R. | Economic Growth: England in the later Middle Ages, London, 1962. |

There are a large number of additional studies which illuminate one aspect or another of the Black Death. It would in some ways have been desirable to sub-divide them further into groups such as ‘economic effects’ or ‘anti-semitism’ but this could only be done at the expense of a comprehensive and easily consulted list of authors and I have therefore decided to lump all the remaining texts, except those of the contemporary chroniclers and tractators, in a single category. This list does not contain books, cited in the notes, which deal with the Black Death only indirectly yet contribute something to the general picture.
