About the book

Daniel Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year is a fictionalised but meticulously detailed account of the Great Plague of London in 1665. Written decades after the event, it presents the epidemic through the observations of a narrator moving around the city. Defoe describes quarantine, fear, mortality and social disruption with such realism that the work often reads like eyewitness testimony.
