Stephen H. Porter

The sources available for studying the history of towns and cities are both extensive and diverse. Stephen Porter here presents a guide to where the relevant primary source materials and secondary works are mostly readily available, how to interpret them once found and how far to accept the evidence they produce. The period covered stretches from the Tudors to the early 20th century, during which time there were significant changes in both the scale of towns and the recording of information. After a general introduction giving advice on the practicalities of research, suceeding chapters deal with; population and society; civic administration; government and the courts; and culture and leisure. The sources covered are wide-ranging, from militaria returns and parliamentary papers to guide books and fire insurance plans, and the origin and provenance of each type of record are described.

Destruction in the English Civil Wars (Illustrated History Paperback Series)

The Great Plague of 1665-6 is the best known epidemic in English history. Carried by fleas, the bubonic plague decimated the population of England in a little over a year. The disease had never been absent in England since the Black Death in 1348, but there had been ten virtually plague-free years from 1655. People thought that perhaps the scourge had gone for ever. But in 1665 it returned with a vengeance. The total number of deaths attributable to that one outbreak is estimated at up to 130,000. In London alone 100,000 out of a total population of 500,000 died.

The Great Plague

In this account, the author examines the background to 1666, events leading up to and during the fire, the proposals to rebuild the city and the progress of the five-year program which followed.

The Great Plague of 1665-66 is the best known epidemic in English history. This is partly because of its sheer scale, and partly because of the vivid evidence provided by Samuel Pepys. This study examines the origin, nature and impact of the plague.

Places the fire in historical perpective and examines the events leading up tp, during and after the fire, including the program to rebuild the city.
