Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 15: March/April 1661-62
Produced by David Widger
"Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 15: March/April 1661-62" by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written in the 17th century, during the Restoration period in England. This volume presents an intimate look into the daily life and thoughts of Pepys, a naval administrator and Member of Parliament, as he navigates personal and professional challenges in a transformative time for England. The diary encapsulates various themes, including governance, social dynamics, and personal reflections, providing readers with rich historical context. In this volume, Pepys documents a wide array of events occurring in March and April of 1661-62, marked by discussions of naval affairs, financial management, and social engagements. He expresses concerns over his expenditures, showcases interactions with his colleagues at the office, and describes his social outings, including visits to the theater and church. Noteworthy highlights emerge from his reflections on political developments, such as the new chimney tax and the arrival of the Queen. Throughout, Pepys reveals a multifaceted individual—part statesman, part family man—dedicated to both his public duties and personal relationships, while wrestling with the social expectations of his time.
