Set during London's Great Plague of 1665, this vivid account details the epidemic's progression, the city's desperate attempts to combat it, and the haunting images of death. Defoe explores the psychological toll on the populace, particularly through the character Solomon Eagle, who publicly denounces the city's sins. Blending elements of novel and history, the work is rich with incidents, statistics, and insights about life during this harrowing time. This edition features an introduction by Henry Morley, making it an excellent collectible for enthusiasts of history and literature.
