PASSAGE
From a book review: "Whitfield's history of the plague years is meticulously researched and elegantly written, yet it suffers from a curious myopia: the author sees the epidemic's effect on London merchants and London parishes with piercing clarity, but the countryside beyond the city walls—where most English people actually lived and died—remains a blur."
The reviewer uses myopia, a term whose primary medical definition is "nearsightedness," in a figurative sense. What criticism does the reviewer make of Whitfield's book?
