Book excerpt: The History of the Plague in London is a historical novel offering an account of the dismal events caused by the Great Plague, which mercilessly struck the city of London in 1665. First published in 1722, the novel illustrates the social disorder triggered by the outbreak, while focusing on human suffering and the mere devastation occupying London at the time. Defoe opens his book with the introduction of his fictional character H.F., a middle-class man who decides to wait out the destruction of the plague instead of fleeing to safety, and is presented only by his initials throughout the novel. Consequently, the narrator records many distressing stories as experienced by London residents, including craze affected people wandering the streets aimlessly, locals trying to escape the disease infected city, and healthy families forced to confine themselves behind closed doors. Apart from these second-hand accounts, the narrator also provides a thorough explanation on how quarantine was managed and kept under control. In addition, he seeks to debunk all squalid rumors which have produced a false interpretation of the bubonic plague. However, not everything is bleak in the account, as the novel offers some affirmative evidence that humanity is still capable of charity, kindness and mercy even in the midst of chaos and confusion. Although regarded as a work of fiction, the author engrosses with his insertion of statistics, government reports and charts which further validate the novel as a precise portrayal the Great Plague.

This book was released on 2020-04-10 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Journal of the Plague Year, first published in March 1722, recounts one man's experiences in 1665, when the bubonic plague struck in what became known as the Great Plague of London. Presented as an eyewitness account of events at the time, it was actually written just prior to the book's publication. The author, Daniel Defoe, was only five years old when the Great Plague took place, but he goes to great pains to achieve an effect of verisimilitude, identifying specific neighborhoods, streets, and even houses in which the events of the plague took place. Additionally, he provides tables of casualty figures and discusses the credibility of various accounts and anecdotes received by the narrator. The book is often compared to the actual, contemporary accounts of the plague in the diary of Samuel Pepys. Defoe's account, which appears to include much research, is far more systematic and detailed than Pepys's first-person account. As George Rice Carpenter, professor of rhetoric and English composition at Columbia College, wrote, "The reason why this religious romance of Defoe's, like Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress, has held for nearly two centuries its place in English literature, the reason why knowledge of it is still worth making a requisite of a broad education, is that it is one of the most vivid pictures imaginable of the varied scenes and experiences of a great national calamity, such as still might conceivably overtake a large community. No one can read it without a healthy quickening of the sympathies, and without receiving into his memory a series of pictures stimulating the imagination and scarcely to be effaced from the memory. The nightly dead-carts and the links, the red crosses on the doors, the pit at midnight with the half-crazed mourner, the simple waterman, the lowly artisan wanderers; even the seemingly trivial details, the untouched purse in the deserted courtyard, the unfrightened women pillaging the warehouse, all these remain with us for years as vivid as the actual recollections of our childhoods." Includes an introduction by George Rice Carpenter, professor of rhetoric and English composition at Columbia College. Newly designed and typeset by Waking Lion Press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Lord have mercy upon us’. If these words were painted on your door, it could only mean one thing—you were one of the infected. In the years 1665 and 1666, the bubonic plague ravaged London. Bodies piled up on the streets, families quarantined themselves indoors. 100,000 people would perish, a quarter of the city’s population. In "A Journal of the Plague Year", Daniel Defoe offer a fictionalised account of the pandemic, seen through the eyes of a God-fearing, upper-class Londoner. Gruesome and vivid in its details, it makes for a terrifyingly relevant read for modern audiences. English writer Daniel Defoe (c. 1660–1731) led an extraordinary life. As a child, he survived both the Great Fire of London and a major outbreak of the bubonic plague. As an adult, he enjoyed careers as a merchant, political satirist, rebel soldier and even a spy. Defoe was in his fifties before he finally turned his hand to fiction. "Robinson Crusoe", his first novel, was an instant bestseller. The story of a shipwrecked sailor, its style and structure made it a landmark text in the history of English literature. His other notable works include "Moll Flanders", "A Journal of the Plague Year" and "Captain Singleton".
