by Daniel Dafoe
Daniel Defoe's 'Journal of the Plague Year', published in 1722, is a fictionalised account of London's Great Plague of 1665. While technically a work of fiction, it offers a more detailed and systematic account of the plague than that of Samuel Pepys' diary, for instance...yet can also be read as a gripping narrative, worthy of mention in the same breath as 'Moll Flanders' or 'Robinson Crusoe'.
