"The Dreadful Visitation" is a historical account by Daniel Defoe that chronicles the terrifying outbreak of the bubonic plague in London in 1665. Through the eyes of a narrator who experienced the crisis firsthand, the narrative vividly portrays the fear, chaos, and societal breakdown as the disease ravages the city. Defoe details the harrowing experiences of the afflicted, the responses of authorities, and the impact on daily life, weaving together personal anecdotes with broader observations. The work serves as both a cautionary tale about the fragility of society in the face of disaster and a reflection on human resilience amid suffering.
