Summary/Abstract: The plague represents a universal theme that acquired throughout times different interpretations. The plague theme is present in many literatures and as it results from the texts that we refer to from different times (the ancient Greek drama, the middle ages cases of plague, the Renaissance, the modern literature and the contemporary literature), it didn't lose its actuality. The present paper represents a contribution to the interdisciplinary study of the plague theme in the European literary, cultural and historical context.
