Conclusion: Recalling the Plague of 1665 in Later Literary Culture -- Bibliography -- Index.-.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.Early Modern Literature in History,2634-5927European literatureRenaissance, 1450-1600LiteratureHistory and criticismEuropean literatureEarly Modern and Renaissance LiteratureLiterary HistoryEuropean LiteratureEuropean literatureLiteratureHistory and criticism.European literature.Early Modern and Renaissance Literature.Literary History.European Literature.820.93561Miller Kathleenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063636BOOK9910255228803321The Literary Culture of Plague in Early Modern England2533311UNINA
