The Diary of Samuel Pepys by Samuel Pepys

The Diary of Samuel Pepys is perhaps the most well known collection of reminiscences. He maintained it, in secrecy, from 1660, the year of the Restoration, until 1669 when his fear of blindness prevented his daily labors. Though it covers less than a decade, it offers a lively and detailed insight into a period and a personality - for he noted events in both public and private life. Famous passages include descriptions of The Plague and the Great Fire of London. In this presentation, key sections are set in their historical context.

In July 1660, Samuel Pepys was appointed Clerk of the Acts to the Naval Board, and went on to become an MP and Chief Secretary to the Admiralty. His diary, which he kept for nearly ten years, is a vivid account of some of seventeenth-century England's most significant events.
