It was a resource for Georgia's story on the Dancing Plague of 1518. It was noted for its descriptive writing about the dancers.
He titled the shit out of that book.
day after night, night after day, the dancers continued with their delirious motions. One can picture them in late July, 1518, eyes unfocused, faces turned up to heaven, their arms and legs moving with fatigue and their shirts, skirts and stockings soaked with sweat.
we can be fairly sure that most of the dancers had the lined faces, deep set eyes, coarse gray clothes, loose blackened or missing teeth and the stinking breath that spoke of the hardships of the lowest cast.
So he says that it's almost certain that the majority of the dancers in Strasburg were poor, the ones who had been suffering the most for the past several years.
