あらすじ
A Journal of the Plague Year by Daniel Defoe, published in 1722, presents the experiences of a single man during the Great Plague of London in 1665, when bubonic plague ravaged the city. The narrative is framed as an eyewitness account, combining research and imaginative reconstruction to offer a detailed picture of London’s streets and neighborhoods, as well as the toll the epidemic took on its people. The book’s classification is still debated: some readers treat it as authentic history, while others regard it as historical fiction, and many see it as a work that sits between the two.
