The Rockland Public Library presents Michael Grillo, Thursday, May 27, at 6:30 p.m., over Zoom. This event is free and open to all.
The Great Plague of 1348 swept across the European world with an unprecedented ferocity that brought cathartic changes to Late Mediaeval society. Suffering substantial losses of their populations shook the newly developed foundations of the emerging guild-democracies of fourteenth-century Italy, throwing their understanding of the world into question.
“Rather than viewing this era as an interruption in the beginning of the Renaissance, however, might we instead consider how the Great Plague era opened opportunities for rethinkings that in fact contributed directly to the Renaissance centuries that followed?” said the Library, in a news release.
