Varlik, Nükhet (Author)
Over the past decade, historians of plague and public health have witnessed a flurry of publications addressing the late medieval and early modern Mediterranean world. This essay will discuss three recent monographs that examine plague and responses to it in three port cities of the Mediterranean world: Dubrovnik (Ragusa), Venice, and Seville. Each of these books makes an important contribution to the existing historical scholarship and, together, they represent critical changes that are taking place in the field of plague studies. In what follows, I will survey each work with respect to the broader historiographical trends it follows, the topics it covers, and the sources it uses. I will then seek to establish points of connection between the three works, while discussing issues of contention, consensus, and areas that remain open to further development within the larger historiography of plague and public health.
