Description

In 1665, the Great Plague swept through London, claiming nearly 100,000 lives.

In A Journal of the Plague Year, Defoe vividly chronicles the progress of the epidemic.

We follow his fictional narrator through a city transformed-the streets and alleyways deserted, the houses of death with crosses daubed on their doors, the dead-carts on their way to the pits-and encounter the horrified citizens of the city, as fear, isolation, and hysteria take hold.

The shocking immediacy of Defoe's description of plague-racked London makes this one of the most convincing accounts of the Great Plague ever written. (Excerpt from Goodreads)
