The Letters of Samuel Pepys by Guy De La Bedoyere
New selection of Pepys' letters throws light on his life and early career, and includes 30 never previously published.
Allows a solid and revealing reflection of the man over the full span of his life[...] The Pepys of these letters is a rounded, conscientious and surprisingly troubled character - a useful counter-balance to the man who is so easily seen only in his prime, the diary years. Guy de la Bédoyère's informative editorial comments and linking passages could almost stand alone as a brief history of the period. * THE LITERARY REVIEW *

[Pepys's] letters in this well-selected and wide ranging collection are truly engaging and utterly civilized. * RECUSANT HISTORY *
