The Diary of Samuel Pepys: Index by Samuel Pepys Pdf

Samuel Pepys is as much a paragon of literature as Chaucer and Shakespeare. His Diary is one of the principal sources for many aspects of the history of its period. In spite of its significance, all previous editions were inadequately edited and suffered from a number of omissions--until Robert Latham and William Matthews went back to the 300-year-old original manuscript and deciphered each passage and phrase, no matter how obscure or indiscreet. The Diary deals with some of the most dramatic events in English history. Pepys witnessed the London Fire, the Great Plague, the Restoration of Charles II, and the Dutch Wars. He was a patron of the arts, having himself composed many delightful songs and participated in the artistic life of London. His flair for gossip and detail reveals a portrait of the times that rivals the most swashbuckling and romantic historical novels. In none of the earlier versions was there a reliable, full text, with commentary and notation with any claim to completeness. This edition, first published in 1970, is the first in which the entire diary is printed with systematic comment. This is the only complete edition available; it is as close to Pepys’s original as possible.

The Diary of Samuel Pepys by Samuel Pepys Pdf

That wild and crazy guy of the 17th century - Samuel Pepys - continues his escapades in London and environs. In this volume: the aftermath of the Great Fire of London, talk of Nostradamus, the increasingly infamous behavior of the royal court, trouble in Parliament, the end of one war and rumors of new wars brewing, plays aplenty, news from the New World, more science experiments and early brain surgery, and Sam's carousing with his friends! Much too scandalous to be published in its own time, this first person account sheds an entirely different light on Pepys' times.The year begins with rumors of war:"I find the Court full of great apprehensions of the French, who have certainly shipped landsmen, great numbers, at Brest; and most of our people here guess his design for Ireland. We have orders to send all the ships we can possible to the Downes. God have mercy on us! for we can send forth no ships without men, nor will men go without money, every day bringing us news of new mutinies among the seamen; so that our condition is like to be very miserable."
