This book is about the literary culture that emerged during and in
the aftermath of the Great Plague of London (1665). Textual
transmission impacted upon and simultaneously was impacted by the
events of the plague. This book examines the role of print and
manuscript cultures on representations of the disease through
micro-histories and case studies of writing from that time,
interpreting the place of these media and the construction of
authorship during the outbreak. The macabre history of plague in
early modern England largely ended with the Great Plague of London,
and the miscellany of plague writings that responded to the
epidemic forms the subject of this book.
