By January 1348, the plague was in Marseilles. It reached Paris in the spring, 1348 and England in September, 1348. Moving along the Rhine trade routes, the plague reached Germany in 1348, and the Low Countries the same year. Historians agree that 1348 was the worst of the plague years.

severely autistic boy was included in the writings of the German monk, Martin Luther. The description Luther gave of the child was that he “was a soulless mass of flesh possessed by the devil” (“Autism Spectrum, 2008).

In Dracula, Bram Stoker utilises late Victorian era anxieties and uses the character of Dracula as a symbol for threats regarding imperialism. When it came for me to do my research into degeneration, two theorists lead the way; Max Nordau and Cesare Lombroso. I decided to continue my research by…

He stood there like an erect corpse. This wasn’t the feared downtown barrister, wordless, a strain in his eyes reminiscent of the old days of a near- gone and soul-lost man.

He turned a little sideways in his chair to drink his mug of coffee. At the table on his left the man with the strident voice was still talking remorselessly away. A young woman who was perhaps his secretary, and who was sitting with her back to Winston, was listening to him and seemed to be eagerly agreeing with everything that he said. From time to time Winston caught some such remark as 'I think you're so right, I do so agree with you', uttered in a youthful and rather silly feminine voice.…
