Description
First published in 1722, this edition of Daniel Defoe's 'A Journal of the Plague Year' covers events in London, England, in 1665 as the bubonic plague spread throughout the city. Though, a work of historical fiction, the book includes accurate historical details, charts, statistics, and government documents.
