Poet and writer Kate Camp returns with another classic work of literature. This week she covers A Journal of the Plague Year, a book by Daniel Defoe released in 1722.

It documents the 1665 bubonic plague outbreak that came to be known as the Great Plague of London. So what can this tell us about our current coronavirus experiences?
