Produced by David Widger
"Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 09: January/February/March 1660-61" by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written during the mid-17th century, specifically in the years shortly after the English Civil War and the Restoration of the monarchy. This diary entry serves as a vivid window into the life of Pepys, a civil servant and clerk in the Navy, capturing his personal observations and reflections on both his everyday life and significant historical events of his time. The opening of this volume describes Pepys's life as a dedicated bureaucrat during a transformative period in England. He details his professional dealings in the Navy Office, mentions his family interactions, and provides commentary on political happenings, including the King's relationships and parliamentary strife. Starting with reflections on his health and wealth, he recounts social gatherings, family dinners, and participates in the excitement surrounding the return of the monarchy. His narrative is marked by a mixture of personal and political intrigue, laying the groundwork for a fascinating exploration of a pivotal moment in British history through the intimate lens of his daily experiences.
