The Great Famine: Dearth and Society in Medieval England, c.1300
This project will be the first substantial investigation of the impact of the Great Famine in England in the early 14th century. The Great Famine was northern Europe's most extensive famine of the past millennium, but relatively little has been written about it. Employing a range of material - a good deal of it hitherto unexamined - this study will explore the famine as well as its demographic, social, economic and political context.
