Here the boy stopped his discourse, and sitting still, the tears ran down his face, and he wept a good while,--nobody taking notice of it, till the negro boy seeing it, but not understanding the meaning of it, runs into another room, and tells some of the house, his little master was sick: it happened that the gentlewoman, formerly mentioned, their cousin, was in the house, and she ran in to see what ailed him; she found him crying vehemently, but not sick; she urged him to tell her what ailed him, but she could not prevail. After some time his father came in, and he pressed him, but to no purpose; but both saw the child was in great agony,--says the gentlewoman, I will engage this disorder is upon some discourse between him and Toby, let the boy be examined,--so the father called in Toby.

<p>Part of a radical new series -- edited by Richard Holmes -- that recovers the great classical tradition of English biography. Every book is a biographical masterpiece, still thrilling to read and vividly alive. In this pioneering series, Richard Holmes, the world's leading Romantic biographer, sets out to recover the great forgotten tradition of English biographical writing. 'I have had no time for dusty tomes,' writes Holmes, 'I have looked for brevity, intelligence and style. Above all, I have sought out great biographical writers: Biographers with passion, biographers who have found a way to the heart and soul of a memorable subject. 'Jack Sheppard was an eighteenth-century Houdini -- a handsome young escape artist who broke out of his cell on Newgate's grim Death Row three times. Jonathan Wild was the infamous Thief-Taker General who helped to recapture him and many other criminals, only to be tried and executed himself for racketeering, among scenes of mayhem at Tyburn. Daniel Defoe, the master of adventure fiction, was fascinated by 'True Confessions' and the workings of the criminal personality (including its daring, its stoicism and its humour). He was the first to re-tell</p>

This novel is an account of one man's experiences of the year 1665, in which the Great Plague or the bubonic plague struck the city of London. The book is told somewhat chronologically, though without sections or chapter headings. Presented as an eyewitness account of the events at the time, it was written in the years just prior to the book's first publication in March 1722. Defoe was only five years old in 1665, and the book itself was published under the initials H. F. and is probably based on the journals of Defoe's uncle, Henry Foe. In the book, Defoe goes to great pains to achieve an effect of verisimilitude, identifying specific neighborhoods, streets, and even houses in which events took place. Additionally, it provides tables of casualty figures and discusses the credibility of various accounts and anecdotes received by the narrator. The novel is often compared to the actual, contemporary accounts of the plague in the diary of Samuel Pepys. Defoe's account, which appears to include much research, is far more systematic and detailed than Pepys's first-person account. Defoe's account may also be compared to the description of the plague in Alessandro Manzoni's The Betrothed (orig. Italian: I Promessi Sposi). Despite some similarities (for example, both works were written many years after the end of the plague), the two writers used different techniques: Defoe wrote a work full of detail using another's viewpoint and with a detached tone, while Manzoni not only reconstructed the general atmosphere of the pestilence-stricken Milan, but as well analysed individual responses to the plague with a poetic sensitivity of his own.
