Richard Le Gallienne’s elegant abridgment of the Diary captures the essential writings of Samuel Pepys (1633–1703), a remarkable man who witnessed the coronation of Charles II, the Great Plague of 1665, and the Great Fire of 1666.
In his diary, Pepys provides a definitive eyewitness account of the main events in 1660s English history, along with lively descriptions of his socializing, his amorous entanglements, his theatre-going and music-making.
Samuel Pepys gives a unique first hand account of life during the Great Plague of London and the Great Fire of London. Pepys stayed in London while many of the wealthy fled the city in the face of the plague.
