by Thomas Nashe
'In Time of Pestilence, 1593' Summary
In Time of Pestilence, 1593 eloquently expresses the collective anguish and desperation of a city under siege by the plague. Nashe's words paint a grim picture of London's streets, where death lurks in every corner and the living are haunted by the constant threat of infection. The poem is a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of disease and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.Book Details
