This was fantastic. New subscriber after watching this! What a great presentation and the narrator was excellent.

[@TheGreatCourses]

Thank you, we are happy to hear this. Never stop learning!

[@ecdevera2455]

Wondrium -- retirees like me should find in Wondrium a reason to stay healthy and alive for more productive learning years, if only to watch and absorb these excellent lectures by intellectuals and educators who know how to present their riveting materials in such a fascinating, easy to follow and absorb pedagogy. Wow, my twilight years suddenly become more and more intellectually fecund and exciting and so much richer every single day as I peruse each lecture while walking leisurely around my garden.

[@carenrichard3963]

These lectures are wonderful. It is so important to be reminded of history. Great lecturer

@Wesson Martin I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

Professor Donald J. Harreld -What a great teacher !!

[@daneaxe6465]

The audio is so clear it feels a little strange, but excellent. Lecture is excellent also.

[@TheGreatCourses]

Thank you, we are glad you enjoyed it.

[@MyRealName148]

The gesturing is perfect. This prof is experienced and erudite

[@charlesbrowne9590]

The least appreciated effect of the Black Death is the devastation it wrecked on the priests. The clergy died in relatively greater numbers than the laity because they gave the last rites when plague victims were most contagious. This paved the way for the reformation and the Renaissance.

[@nosuchthing8]

Very interesting observation

[@rommelzambrano7799]

What a great info you just have made possible for those who we want to keep learning, thanks. Greetings from Cali, Colombia.

I tell the religious people that are preaching that "this is the End of Times," to educate themselves in the history of the world and then come back to talk to me.

Seems to me, those who died it was their end of the world.

Really informative! I wrote my course final paper on the economic impact of the Black Death in England for my early British History class in college back in the mid-‘80s, so this was definitely must-see.

[@MichaelSHartman]

Thank you for the excellent lecture. I had heard it had come up from Africa via merchant ships. The combination of many factors was an interesting one. Recently, in China there has been the COVID-19 virus, long-term flooding, locusts swarming, crop failure, civil unrest, conquest, a short surge of the Bubonic plague, economic downturn, and possibly war on the horizon. Something not often brought up is that the plague killed 60% of wildlife. Domesticated cats, and dogs might bring in mice, and rabbits. Skinning hunted game might have been a vector, especially if domesticated meat dwindled. From the photo, l can understand how it was called Black Death. The lecture also gave me some insight into a recently viewed movie "Chimes at Midnight" (Falstaff) by Orson Welles in which an unemployed professional soldier robs the countryside to fund his often unpaid bills.

A lot of good information. But the title is misleading. Only the last two minutes were devoted to the effects of the plaque.

Is there information on what artwork is being shown throughout the video? The picture shown at the 1:00 mark looks more like a classical setting than a late medieval.

[@x1gemb832]

. How do explosive changes in the environment lead to economic disruption?

[@christinechesse8777]

Honestly- way too many ads for my taste and not much connection to the title. This is a history and exposition of the plague more than the recovery period.

[@kimfleury]

The title is _Black Death & the Economy_. Did I miss something about "recovery"?

[@AndDiracisHisProphet]

@@kimfleury it is "the LASTING effects of the Black Death". I had the same expectations as Christine.

[@susankerr9521]

There's no record of its having reached Greenland. It did make landfall in Iceland where it devastated the population. Greenland was simply too far away, seeing a supply ship only once every few years at the time of the Black Death. Those poor folks fell victim to climate change, methinks--the Little Ice Age.

After having the virus or during the virus pandemic? It's two different things dude, one you are referring to the conditions of your comment being related to those people affected by the virus physically, or the other people affected by the pandemic without getting sick but still endures it.

[@brucemackinnon6707]

The Revelation is always being muddled by the ignorant. The Four Horsemen refer to four stages the decline and fall of pagan Rome. Any reader of the actual history of that period will recognise it. The horse was a common symbol of Rome, for example the plumes on the head dress of Roman legionnaires. The Roman Empire produced the first great network of paved horse roads. Gibbon described four stages and forms of government.
