Harold Wilson suggested Daniel Defoe's _A Journal of the Plague Year_.
May I suggest Defoe's less well known but equally interesting _Due
Preparations for the Plague_, which is somewhat richer in data for the
social historian. I have found both books to be quite popular with
third-year English students.
