| 520 | _a“A History of Epidemics in Britain, Volume 1 (of 2)” by Charles Creighton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work explores the occurrence and impact of epidemics in Britain from A.D. 664 to the extinction of plague in 1665-1666, delving into various significant outbreaks and their socio-economic repercussions over the centuries. At the start of this volume, Creighton establishes the framework and timeline for discussing the historical epidemics, beginning with the earliest recorded plague in 664, as noted in Beda's "Ecclesiastical History." He outlines the contextual implications of these outbreaks, particularly the connection between famine and sickness throughout medieval Britain, and how these factors intertwined with societal upheavals. He touches on the systematic approach he employed in compiling various historical sources and medical literature to create what he asserts is the first comprehensive epidemiological history focused on Great Britain and Ireland. This opening sets the stage for a detailed examination of how these epidemics shaped public health, social structures, and economic conditions over a lengthy period.
