RALPH TAILOR'S SUMMER: A SCRIVENER, HIS CITY, AND THE PLAGUE

by Keith Wrightson

Published by Yale University Press. 1st. 2011

Slightly better than very good condition in a nearly fine dustwrapper. 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.

Name & date in ink to half-title page else a lovely copy.
