1665: London's Last Great Plague - Professor Vanessa Harding
A brilliant lecture that will radical reshape your understanding of the Plague: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/1665-londons-last-great-plague
350 years ago, London experienced a devastating outbreak of plague. Some 70,000 people died and the capital's social and economic life was disrupted for months.
The story is seemingly well-known but on closer examination there are still many disputed or puzzling features. Can we be sure that we understand the epidemic any better than those who lived through it?
The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/1665-londons-last-great-plague
