The plague outbreak of 1636 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne was one of the most devastating in English history. This moving study looks in detail at its impact on the city through the eyes of a man who stayed as others fled: the scrivener Ralph Tailor. Brown cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos. ISBN: 9780300174472. Name & date in ink to half-title page else a lovely copy.
