The world has been fundamentally changed by the shock and devastation of a 21st century pandemic. COVID-19 has claimed six million lives; we process a daily deluge of often conflicting and/or overwhelming information; and humanity has no way of knowing when this collective trauma will finally end. Will our lives ever be the same again? It seems not.

Now, try to imagine the plague that devastated Europe in the Middle Ages and beyond: more than 25 million dead. Almost 400 years of outbreaks caused by a bacterium that would not be identified until the 19th century. The mortality rate was close to 85%, with as much as 70% of the population wiped out in some locations. Superstition was pervasive, and medical practices were frequently ineffective and harmful. What caused this tragedy, and what could have been done about it? For years, we thought we knew … but we often had it wrong.

In The Black Death: New Lessons from Recent Research, celebrated medievalist Dorsey Armstrong shares the fascinating new story of this old pandemic—revealed by dedicated researchers working with 21st-century technologies and a knowledge of language and history that now provide input from all geographic areas of the medieval world. In seven engaging lectures, Professor Armstrong corrects explanations of the pandemic that are now known to be inaccurate and offers a more robust description of plague biology than has ever been known. COVID-19 isn’t likely to be humanity’s last experience with a zoonotic disease, so what can we learn now from these two pandemics that could help us in the future?

世界在21世纪这场世纪瘟疫的冲击和破坏下发生了根本性改变。新冠病毒夺走了600万人的生命；我们每天面临着常常相互矛盾或令人困惑的信息洪流；而人类似乎也无从得知这种集体创伤何时终将结束。我们的生活还会恢复正常吗？看起来不会。 现在，请试着想象一下中世纪及之后欧洲爆发的瘟疫：超过2500万人丧生。近400年间由直到19世纪才发现的那种细菌引起的疫情暴发。死亡率接近85%，在某些地方甚至高达70%的人口被消灭了。迷信盛行，而医疗实践通常是无效且有害的。这种悲剧的原因是什么？我们能做些什么来避免它吗？多年来我们都以为自己知道答案……但其实大多数时候我们答错了。 在《黑死病：近期研究揭示的新故事》中，享有盛誉的中世纪学者多瑟·阿姆斯特朗分享了这个古老瘟疫的新鲜故事——这一故事是通过利用21世纪的技术以及对语言和历史的知识而被发现的。在七节引人入胜的演讲中，艾玛森教授纠正了现在已知为不准确的疫情解释，并提供了一个比过去任何时候都更全面描述病原生物学的描述。新冠病毒不太可能成为人类最后遭遇的一种动物源性疾病，那么我们可以从这两个瘟疫中学到什么，这些知识又能帮助我们在未来做好准备吗？
