Description

This beautiful jacketed hardback presents Daniel Defoe's classic A Journal of the Plague Year, a vivid and arresting account of the impact of London's Great Plague of 1665.

Defoe charts 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.

Featuring an illuminating introduction by Henry Morley, this covetable edition makes a perfect gift or collectible for any history or literature lover.

ABOUT THE SERIES: Arcturus Silhouette Classics are high-quality hardback editions with contemporary cover-designs. Presented with dust jackets and beautiful color end-papers, the titles in this series make wonderful gifts or collectibles for any classic literature lover.
