The novel 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. Whether the Journal can properly be regarded as a novel has been disputed.

This novel is an account of one man's eyewitness experiences in the city of London in the year 1665, as the city is overrun with the Bubonic Plague. A Journal of the Plague Year takes us down to street level, gripping with the reality of disease and death during one of the darkest periods known to man. As the modern world struggles to come to terms with similar threats, Defoe's work is as relevant as ever.This special edition is designed to be compact, but readable. Use Amazon's LookInside feature to judge for yourself.The haunting cry of ""Bring out your dead!"" by a bell-ringing collector of 17th-century plague victims has filled readers across the centuries with cold terror. The chilling cry survives in historical consciousness largely as a result of this classic 1722 account of the epidemic of bubonic plague -- known as the Black Death -- that ravaged England in 1664-1665.Actually written nearly 60 years later by Daniel Defoe, the Journal is narrated by a Londoner named ""H. F.,"" who allegedly lived through the devastating effects of the pestilence and produced this eye witness account. Drawing on his considerable talents as both journalist and novelist, Defoe reconstructed events both historically and fictionally, incorporating realistic, memorable details that enable the novel to surpass even firsthand accounts in its air of authenticity. This verisimilitude is all the more remarkable since Defoe was only five years old when the actual events took place. Long a staple of college literature courses, A Journal of the Plague Year will fascinate students, teachers, and general readers alike."
