Pestilence in Medieval and Early Modern English Literature
A helpful book, for me, especially regarding the relationship between medical and literary discourses in medieval England. But its writing is not always as strong as I would like, nor is BLG's thinking always as crisp and complex as, say, Gilman's in the stunning _Plague Writing in Early Modern England_.
