Kuvaus

Daniel Defoe himself was only five years old at the time of the Plague and so his personal experience would have been limited. He claimed that the Journal was a historical account of the events of that year, based on extensive research and seen through an eyewitness experience, that of his uncle, Henry Foe.

Defoe details the progress of the plague through London's districts, how the city attempted to fight it, and describes the horror of carts piled high with the dead. He also examines the distressing effect of the disease on the human psyche, personified by Solomon Eagle, renowned for parading naked with a burning pan of charcoal on his head, denouncing the sins of the city. Whether novel or history or something in between, the Journal is packed with incident and insight, as well as statistics and intriguing facts, making a brilliant account of a city and its people in a terrible time.
