I wrote a paper on the Black Death, a subject that I find perhaps a little too interesting to not be labelled morbid. It's pretty long, but I have been assured that it's worth it. It's also extensively researched. I will put my bibliography here too.
Here are the 12 parts, labelled so that if you are looking for something specific-- for instance, effects of the Black Death on a certain area-- then it will be easy to find.
The Black Death Part 1: An Introduction
The Black Death Part 2: A Little Background
The Black Death Part 3: A Description of the Disease
The Black Death Part 4: The Path of the Disease
The Black Death Part 5: Italy
The Black Death Part 6: France and the British Isles
The Black Death Part 7: The Rest of Europe
The Black Death Part 8: The Contemporary Response to the Plague
The Black Death Part 9: Medicine in the 14th Century
The Black Death Part 10: Religion
The Black Death Part 11: The Aftermath
The Black Death Part 12: The Conclusion
