Albert Camus, An Allegorical Reading of Camus’ Novel, The Plague,
presented by Victor Judge, Registrar and Lecturer, Vanderbilt Divinity School

In 1939, as World War II began, the French novelist Albert Camus wrote in his notebook, “The reign of beasts has begun.” While he was composing The Plague, Camus was living in a homeland occupied by German conquerors; his country was imprisoned as completely as if a plague had sealed off her borders, and the destruction, suffering, and death resulting from the war were as unjust as the cruelty of a plague.
Published in 1947, Camus’ somberly narrated chronicle and allegory on the germination of the plague of war of unfolds as an affirmation of the worth of human beings and of life despite being exiled in the universe and despite being ravaged by disease and tyrants. Participants in this course will engage in a critical examination of the theological questions in Camus’ novel and explore the relevance of the novel’s themes to the contemporary world.
