Description
Rebecca Rideal sheds light on a pivotal year in English history, 1666, a time of great turmoil and transformation. The Great Plague, the second Dutch War, and the Great Fire of London all had a profound impact on the country, leaving devastating repercussions in their wake.
Through original archival research and drawing on lesser-known sources, Rideal reveals the story of this critical period, bringing to life the experiences of those who lived through it. The book also explores the scientific and artistic progress being made at the time, from groundbreaking discoveries to iconic works of art.
With 1666: Plague, War and Hellfire, readers are given a unique glimpse into a city and country on the cusp of modernity, as the ashes of the old city were being cleared to make way for a new one. This is a story of resilience, innovation, and the enduring legacy of one of the most significant years in English history.
