Black Death in Medieval Culture

The Black Death was such a cataclysmic event that it affected every inch of medieval life. History has passed down much of what we know today about the Black Death’s effect on society through prose, art, poetry and music. Writers such as Boccaccio, Petrarch and Chaucer documented not only the main events surrounding the plague, but also interesting tidbits about how the plague was handled on a daily basis by rich and poor alike. This gives us today a wonderfully well-rounded account of how contemporary society viewed The Plague and how it dealt with the consequences of the disease.
