“Quack conjurers” and Snake Oil: Drawing Parallels Between Defoe’s Plague Year and Public Exploitation During The Age of COVID-19.
Description (Dublin Core)
This story is a short essay for my graduate literature course, analyzing parallels between Daniel Defoe’s Plague Year and our current experiences in the pandemic of COVID-19. It is important to me because I believe these parallels illustrate the importance of putting our faith in reliable information, and learning from the mistakes of the past rather than repeating them.
