The Great Plague
Talk and book signing: Speakers: A. Lloyd Moote and Dorothy C. Moote.
1665 was the most deadly plague year ever seen in London, the disease
killing nearly 100,000 people. Historian A. Lloyd Moote and
microbiologist, Dorothy C. Moote have written an engrossing and deeply
informed account of 1665, focusing on the experiences of nine people
recorded through letters and diaries, including an apothecary serving a
poor district and Samuel Pepys. The authors will talk about their
approaches to historical research and writing and read from their book,
The Great Plague. There will also be a chance to talk to the authors and
to buy a signed copy of the book.
