The Plague of 1665: Daniel Defoe’s Journal of the Plague Year and other contemporary accounts

Publisher Description

The Plague of 1665 was the last great epidemic of plague to strike London, and the only one of which numerous written accounts survive. This book contains an overview of the plague's history and pathology, and examines the contemporary accounts, with an abridged version of the most famous book about the epidemic, Daniel Defoe's "A Journal of the Plague Year." Another ten works, by diarists, doctors and others, are summarised, with extensive extracts illustrating the reactions and attitudes of the day.
