Why people recommend it
John Kelly's 'The Great Mortality' is an acclaimed historical account of the devastating bubonic plague that swept through medieval Europe, examining its catastrophic social, economic, and religious consequences. On an episode of Stuff They Don't Want You To Know titled 'CLASSIC: Real Life Super Powers Part II', Ben Bowlin recommended a book about the plague, mistakenly referring to Kelly's work as 'Norman caners in the wake of the plague' due to verbal confusion. The book also appeared on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience titled 'Joe Rogan Experience #2030 - Protect Our Parks 9', where a speaker referenced Kelly's vivid depictions of the deeply unsanitary conditions and hygiene history within medieval and royal European palaces, calling the historical reality extraordinary. Additionally, Robert Evans brought up Kelly's book on Behind the Bastards in the episode 'The Priests of Plague', citing the historian's research to explain that between forty-two and forty-five percent of all clergy in Europe perished during the pandemic. Together, these podcast references highlight how Kelly's comprehensive narrative continues to captivate readers and inform discussions regarding the profound scale of human loss and societal transformation during history's worst health crisis.
