Old St. Paul's (novel)

''Old St. Paul's'', also titled ''Old Saint Paul's: A Tale of the Plague and the Fire'', is a novel by William Harrison Ainsworth serially published in 1841. It is a historical romance that describes the events of the Great Plague of London and the Great Fire of London. It was the basis for the silent film ''Old St. Paul's''.
==Background==
In 1840, Ainsworth published ''Guy Fawkes'' and ''The Tower of London''. When their serial publications were completed at the end of the year, Ainsworth began writing ''Old St. Paul's, A Tale of the Plague and the Fire''.〔Carver 2003 pp. 231–232〕 Ainsworth, in a letter to James Crossley 7 December 1840, wrote: "You told me that you have a ''second'' part of De Foe's ''History of the Plague''. Pray bring this with you. I will take the greatest care of it, but it is quite necessary I should see it, as I commence a new Romance with the New Year, under the title of ''The Plague of London''. If you have any other tract relating to the period, or to the Fire, I shall feel obliged by the loan of it".〔Carver 2003 qtd. p. 270〕
''Old St. Paul's'' ran in ''The Sunday Times'' from 3 January 1841 to 26 December 1841, and he was one of the first writers to appear in a national paper in such a form. Ainsworth was paid £1,000 for the work with control of the copyright. The work was later illustrated when it was published in a three volume set by Cunningham.〔Carver 2003 pp. 232, 271–272〕
