Synopsis
One of the medicine case studies we look at the last major outbreak of the bubonic plague in England, known as the Great Plague of 1665. A different outbreak but the same disease as afflcited England during the Black Death, the Great Plague offers a useful comparison between the middle ages and Renaissance period in terms os similarities and differences in attitudes towards the cause and treatment of disease.
