Jennett Cragg, The Quakeress: A Story Of The Plague is a historical novel written by Maria Wright and published in 1877. The story is set in the mid-17th century during the outbreak of the bubonic plague in London. The protagonist, Jennett Cragg, is a young Quaker woman who becomes a nurse to help those affected by the deadly disease. As a Quaker, Jennett faces discrimination and persecution from the authorities and the general public, who blame the Quakers for the spread of the plague. Despite this, she perseveres in her mission to help the sick and dying, even risking her own life in the process. The novel provides a vivid and detailed account of life during the plague, including the social and economic upheavals that occurred as a result of the outbreak. It also explores themes of faith, love, and sacrifice, as well as the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. Overall, Jennett Cragg, The Quakeress: A Story Of The Plague is a compelling and thought-provoking historical novel that offers a glimpse into a dark chapter in London’s history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
