The World the Plague Made: The Black Death and the Rise of Europe
A groundbreaking history of how the Black Death unleashed revolutionary change across the medieval world and ushered in the modern age In 1346, a catastrophic plague beset Europe and its neighbours. The Black Death was a human tragedy that abruptly halved entire populations and caused untold suffering. but it also brought about a cultural and economic renewal on a scale never before witnessed. The World the Plague Made is a panoramic history of h…
The Black Death and the Spread of Europe
There is a paradox about the beginning of European expansion in the fifteenth century. This was a time when Europe had only half its normal population, due to the ravages of the Black Death, 1347–52, and its successor epidemics. This essay attempts, first, to resolve some enduring mysteries about the Black Death: What was it? Where was it? How many people did it kill? It then argues that, counter-intuitively, plague had some positive effects on l…
The Prospect of Global History
This volume is the first of a new series from the Oxford Centre for Global History. It seeks to apply global history rather than merely preach it, and suggests a number of ways in which this can be done. East Asian and Islamic perspectives are here taken as seriously as European ones. The volume insists on depth in historical analysis, or longue durée, and speaks to those interested in medieval and ancient history quite as much as modern history.…

Exclusionary Empire: English Liberty Overseas, 1600–1900
Consisting of an introduction and ten chapters, Exclusionary Empire examines the transfer of English traditions of liberty and the rule of law overseas from 1600 to 1900. Each chapter is written by a noted specialist and focuses on a particular area of the settler empire – Colonial North America, the West Indies, Ireland, the early United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa – and on one non-settler colony, India. The book exa…
Replenishing the Earth: The settler revolution and the rise of the Anglo-world, 1783--1939
Why does so much of the world speak English? This book gives a new answer to that question, uncovering a ‘Settler Revolution’ that took place from the early 19th century that led to the explosive settlement of the American West and its forgotten twin, the British West, comprising the settler dominions of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. Between 1780 and 1930, the number of English-speakers rocketed from 12 million in 1780 to 200 …
Rediscovering the British World
The British Empire shaped the world we know today. Placing the colonies of settlement at the center of British Imperial History, this book rejects nostalgia to explore the complexities and lasting impacts of the British diaspora overseas. Rediscovering the British World is one part of an ongoing attempt to approach British Imperial history from a different viewpoint, placing the colonies of settlement at the centre. Editors Phillip Buckner and Do…
