The Visitation: Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year
Narrated Historical Fiction Series
This podcast is a reading of Daniel Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year, an account of the plague that afflicted London in 1665. Published in 1722, the work represents itself as the testimony of an eyewitness living in London at the time of the plague, but it is actually a work of fiction, based on exhaustive historical research.
This podcast contains only recent episodes, but all episodes are available on The Visitation: Daniel Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year website.
