Pepys's Later Diaries

Pepys's Later Diaries

by C.S. Knighton (Editor), Samuel Pepys (Author)

Synopsis

Pepys never resumed the personal Diary which he abandoned in 1669 fearing he was going blind. He was one of the greatest accidental historians, never intending to record for posterity, but for amusement. This book makes these diaries available to the general reader. These documents enhance the picture of Pepys as a politician and civil servant.
