Lord's reconstruction of life during plague times presents the personal experiences of a wide range of individuals, from historical notables Samuel Pepys and Isaac Newton to common folk who tilled the land and ran the shops. She brings this dark era to vivid life through stories of loss and survival from those who grieved, those who fled, and those who hid to await their fate. 610 20 $a University of Cambridge $x History. 610 22 $a University of Cambridge 610 24 $a University of Cambridge 610 27 $a University of Cambridge $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00530207 650 0 $a Plague $z Cambridge $z Cambridge $x History. 650 12 $a Plague $x History. 650 22 $a History, 17th Century. 650 22 $a Universities $x history. 650 7 $a Plague $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01065045 650 7 $a Pest. $2 gnd 650 7 $a Pest $x historia. $2 sao 651 0 $a Cambridge (England) $x History. 651 2 $a England 651 7 $a England $z Cambridge. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204479 651 7 $a Cambridge. $2 gnd 651 7 $a Cambridge (Grande-Bretagne) $2 rero 651 7 $a Storbritannien $z Cambridge. $2 sao 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718091721.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20170401010052.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7F6AB13816A011E7930E52C5DAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
