History of the Plague in London

A detailed, quasi‑journalistic account of a catastrophic urban plague presented through chronological parish reports and daily observations that blend numbers and narrative. It documents the disease's movement across neighborhoods, official measures such as quarantines and restrictions, and how civic authorities managed burials and recordkeeping. Interwoven with statistical tables and administrative orders are vivid anecdotes of fear, improvised survival strategies, and shifts in social behavior as everyday life unravels. The work concludes with summaries and reflections intended to clarify the scale of loss and to offer practical and moral lessons about public order and human conduct during an epidemic crisis.
