As the bubonic plague ravages London's streets, mercilessly plucking up victims and filling the plague pits with corpses, 13-year-old Alice Paynton records the outbreak in her diary. "It seems that in the past week 700 people have died of the plague. So the plague has well and truly come to London... One of the houses in the next street had a red cross painted on the door. Above the cross someone had chalked Lord Have Mercy Upon Us." Alice's chilling diary brings alive one of the darkest moments in British history: the Great Plague of 1665-1666.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Plague in London. An Observers Account. The Great Plague (1665-1666) was the last major epidemic of the bubonic plague to occur in the Kingdom of England (part of modern day United Kingdom). It happened within the centuries-long time period of the Second Pandemic, an extended period of intermittent bubonic plague epidemics which began in Europe in 1347, the first year of the "Black Death" and lasted until 1750. The Great Plague killed an estimated 100,000 people, about 20% of London's population. Bubonic plague is a disease caused by the Yersinia pestis bacterium which is usually transmitted through the bite of an infected flea, the prime vector for Y. pestis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Journal of the Plague Year: Written by a Citizen Who Continued All the While in London Daniel De Foe, son of James Foe, a respectable butcher, was born in the parish of St. Giles, Cripplegate, in the year 1661. He was four years old, therefore, in the Plague year, 1665. The son of James Foe was named Daniel after his grandfather, who in the time of Charles the First was a gentleman in Northamptonshire, and kept a pack of hounds. We may infer, if we please, from the nature of man, that the family fortunes then went to the dogs, and that the son James, with energy of character, turned country training to account in the supply of sheep and cattle to the London food-market. James Foe prospered and grew old, acquiring, by his good sense, honour and influence among the London Nonconformists. He intended to train his son Daniel as a Nonconformist minister, and sent him, when fourteen years old - a year after the death of Milton - to an academy at Newington Green, established for the training to such ministry. The Reverend Charles Morton was its animating spirit. Defoe always referred to him with gratitude. It is included among recollections of Charles Morton's influence upon young minds committed to his charge, that, by his method of teaching, the students "were made masters of the English tongue, and more of them excelled in that particular than of any school at that time." He also trained his boys to reflection upon current politics, that they might not enter blindly in after-life into controversies of their day. Defoe, almost alone in his time, brought the historic sense into political discussion. He also reformed the currency of English speech, which in his time had been lowered in value by a French alloy. We may join Defoe, therefore, in kindly recollection of a teacher who gave the right directing touch to his young mind. After about five years' study at Newington Green, Daniel Foe was not called to the ministry, but entered into training for the business of a hose-factor in the City of London. That would be about the time of the great controversy touching the exclusion of the King's brother, the Duke of York, from succession to the throne, because he avowed himself to be a Roman Catholic. On the 25th of June 1680, when Foe's age was nineteen, the Earl of Shaftesbury presented the Duke of York to the Grand Jury of Westminster as a Popish Recusant. Out of this controversy came, in November 1681, Dryden's "Absalom and Achitophel," and the whole intellectual battle that had at its centre the best poem of the best poet of that day, and had the English Revolution among issues of the strife, was quickening the energies within young Foe's mind when his age was twenty.

Book excerpt: An intimate portrait of the Great Plague of London. In the winter of 1664-65, a bitter cold descended on London in the days before Christmas. Above the city, an unusually bright comet traced an arc in the sky, exciting much comment and portending "horrible windes and tempests." And in the remote, squalid precinct of St. Giles-in-the-Fields outside the city wall, Goodwoman Phillips was pronounced dead of the plague. Her house was locked up and the phrase "Lord Have Mercy On Us" was painted on the door in red. By the following Christmas, the pathogen that had felled Goodwoman Phillips would go on to kill nearly 100,000 people living in and around London—almost a third of those who did not flee. This epidemic had a devastating effect on the city's economy and social fabric, as well as on those who lived through it. Yet somehow the city continued to function and the activities of daily life went on. In The Great Plague, historian A. Lloyd Moote and microbiologist Dorothy C. Moote provide an engrossing and deeply informed account of this cataclysmic plague year. At once sweeping and intimate, their narrative takes readers from the palaces of the city's wealthiest citizens to the slums that housed the vast majority of London's inhabitants to the surrounding countryside with those who fled. The Mootes reveal that, even at the height of the plague, the city did not descend into chaos. Doctors, apothecaries, surgeons, and clergy remained in the city to care for the sick; parish and city officials confronted the crisis with all the legal tools at their disposal; and commerce continued even as businesses shut down. To portray life and death in and around London, the authors focus on the experiences of nine individuals—among them an apothecary serving a poor suburb, the rector of the city's wealthiest parish, a successful silk merchant who was also a city alderman, a country gentleman, and famous diarist Samuel Pepys. Through letters and diaries, the Mootes offer fresh interpretations of key issues in the history of the Great Plague: how different communities understood and experienced the disease; how medical, religious, and government bodies reacted; how well the social order held together; the economic and moral dilemmas people faced when debating whether to flee the city; and the nature of the material, social, and spiritual resources sustaining those who remained. Underscoring the human dimensions of the epidemic, Lloyd and Dorothy Moote dramatically recast the history of the Great Plague and offer a masterful portrait of a city and its inhabitants besieged by—and defiantly resisting—unimaginable horror.
