Defoe's Journal of the Plague Year is an extraordinary account of the devastation and human suffering inflicted on the city of London by the Great Plague of 1665. Purporting to be an eye-witness, Defoe's fictional narrator recounts in vivid detail the rising death toll and the transformation of the city as its citizens flee and those who remain live in fear and despair. Above all it is the stories of appalling human suffering and grief that give Defoe's extraordinary fiction its compelling historical veracity. The lively Introduction relates the Journal to Defoe's best-known work, Robinson Crusoe , and draws on recent research into the publishing environment of the first edition. It considers the portrayal of London, depicted by Defoe as it was before the Great Fire, and to the book's device of fiction masquerading as fact. This edition also includes comprehensive explanatory notes, a map of Defoe's London, and a complete topographical index that enables the reader to track the Journal's complex references to London's streets, churches, alleyways, and prisons both before and after the Great Fire of 1666.

評分——《倫敦大瘟疫親曆記》讀後 大傢都記得英國現代文學的鼻祖丹尼爾·笛福的《魯賓遜漂流記》可是很少有人提起笛福的另一部作品《倫敦大瘟疫親曆記》,這部常常被人遺忘的經典,用笛福的話來說是:“用另一種囚禁的生活來描繪某一種囚禁生活,用虛構的故...

Reportage + Fiction, “親曆者”的意識流報告,丟失瞭時間的倫敦:窮人的瘟疫,富人的慈善,明智的市長,盡職的醫生,覺醒的神父,幸存的“魯濱遜”,虔誠的水手。“還有什麼未言盡”,when the ubiquitous fraud in parish offices was still there to contribute to the mass’s ignorance to the plague’s advance, having deprived them of their only chance to run away at the earliest moment from their total destruction.
評分唉。
