The Historical Sources of Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year is a book written by Watson Nicholson and published in 1919. The book explores the historical events and sources that inspired Daniel Defoe's famous novel, Journal of the Plague Year. Nicholson delves into the historical context of the 1665 Great Plague of London and examines the various accounts and eyewitness reports from the time. He also analyzes Defoe's own experiences and research, as well as his literary techniques and style. The book provides a detailed analysis of the sources that Defoe drew upon to create his fictional account of the plague, including official reports, diaries, and letters from the period. Nicholson also explores the themes and motifs that are present in Defoe's work, such as the breakdown of social order, the fear of contagion, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Overall, The Historical Sources of Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year is a valuable resource for scholars and readers interested in the history and literature of the Great Plague of London and the works of Daniel Defoe.Illustrated By Extracts From The Original Documents In The Burney Collection And Manuscript Room In The British Museum.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
