About this listen
A work of genuine social history, After the Black Death leads the listener into the villages and cities of European society. The book begins with an overview of family and community structure, social conflict, and religious beliefs. After describing the fundamental traits of both rural and urban society, it considers the elites, armed rebellion, poverty, criminality, sexual behavior, and marriage practices.

Critic reviews
"This superb synthesis will surely stand out...anyone interested in the social life of the modern West will appreciate this beautifully written, soundly researched, and highly knowledgeable book." ( Library Journal)
"To give a sense of immediacy and vividness to the long period in such a short space is a major achievement." ( History)
"Huppert's book is a little masterpiece every teacher should welcome." ( Renaissance Quarterly)
Excellent performance by the narrator was marred by the poor pronunciation of European names, whether people or places. I've found this in all the American narrators I've listened to on Audible and it's a shame.
I know France and Germany very well and would have loved to know the places he was referring to. Only Bordeaux was pronounced properly and I could just about work out when he mentioned Augsberg, despite the warped pronunciation.
It's a shame the publishers don't invest a small amount of time and money into teaching its narrators the correct pronunciation.
Plenty of detail brings this period alive.
