Abstract:

The essay examines Daniel Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year in light of Thomas Vincent's treatise God's Terrible Voice in the City (1667). Rosen argues that Defoe subverts the typological framework of plague and fire by suppressing the fire in order to supply a tragic mode rather than a redemptive one.
