In A Journal of the Plague Year, first published in 1722, Defoe chronicles the progress of the epidemic. His fictional narrator traverses a city with deserted streets and alleyways, where the houses of death have crosses daubed on their doors. He described the panic among the inhabitants of the city as fear, isolation and hysteria reign. Defoe identifies specific neighborhoods, streets, and even houses in which the horrific events took place. Well-researched, the book also provides tables of casualty figures and discusses the reality of various accounts heard by the narrator.

Daniel Defoe, ritenuto uno dei padri del romanzo inglese, ebbe una vita avventurosa quasi quanto quella del protagonista del suo romanzo più famoso. Morì a 71 anni, nel 1731, ad un'età in cui, ancora, Robinson correva per il mondo, visto che nel suo diario si legge che divenne assennato a settantadue anni.

"Fortune e sfortune della famosa Moll Flanders" fu pubblicato nel 1722, con l'aggiunta come sottotitolo. "Che nacque a Newgate, e durante una vita di continui cambiamenti per una sessantina d'anni dopo l'infanzia, fu per dodici anni prostituta, cinque volte moglie (compresa una volta con suo fratello), dodici anni ladra, otto anni delinquente deportata in Virginia; alla fine divenne ricca, visse onestamente e morì pentita. Trascritto dalle sue memorie".
