Omschrijving

Old Saint Paul's: A Tale of the Plague and the Fire is a historical novel written by William Harrison Ainsworth and published in 1855. The story is set in London in the 17th century, during the time of the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London. The novel follows the lives of several characters, including a young apprentice, a wealthy merchant, a notorious criminal, and a beautiful actress. As the city is ravaged by disease and destruction, the lives of these characters intersect in unexpected ways, leading to love, betrayal, and tragedy. The novel is known for its vivid descriptions of the city during this tumultuous time, as well as its portrayal of the social and economic divisions that existed in London society. Ainsworth's use of historical events and figures, such as King Charles II and Samuel Pepys, adds to the novel's authenticity and realism. Old Saint Paul's is considered a classic of historical fiction and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of London.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
