Abstract
The article focuses on John Davies's The Triumph of Death and its poetic strategies for expressing the devastation of plague. Topics include the moral and religious framing of plague in Davies's writing, the broader literary tradition of representing epidemic suffering, and the poet's heavy reliance on repetition as a rhetorical tool to capture the "unutterable" nature of plague.
