About the book

The Wonderful Year 1603 presents Thomas Dekker's vivid account of a remarkable and turbulent year in London. The death of Elizabeth I and accession of James I coincided with a severe outbreak of plague that transformed everyday life in the capital. Dekker combines social observation, humour and descriptions of suffering to capture a city experiencing both political change and widespread disease. The work provides an unusually immediate picture of Jacobean London and the responses of ordinary people to crisis.
