Get ready for the re-emergence of the Black Death Plague
Re: Get ready for the re-emergence of the Black Death Plague
The essence doesn’t change. To predict what might be, discover what was.
A Journal of the Plague Year – Daniel Defoe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Journal ... lague_Year
“In the book, Defoe goes to great pains to achieve an effect of verisimilitude, identifying specific neighborhoods, streets, and even houses in which events took place. Additionally, it 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.”
