For Every Year: 1517

I have a short piece up on For Every Year. Crispin Best's project devoted to a piece of writing for every year since 1400.

Please read "Epidemic Warning Signs" here.

My piece was inspired by our current fear of epidemics, but it was specifically inspired by reading about the mysterious sweating sickness epidemic of 1517.

Stay tuned. I have another one for 1519 coming soon, too.

Thank you, Crispin Best.

You literally are "The Best."
