Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 29: June/July 1664
Produced by David Widger
"Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 29: June/July 1664" by Samuel Pepys is a historical diary written during the mid-17th century. This unique work provides a firsthand account of the daily life, political intrigue, and personal reflections of Pepys, who served as a clerk to the Admiralty. Focusing on the months of June and July in 1664, the diary captures significant events and insights from a pivotal time in English history, including naval affairs and social dynamics. The opening portion of the diary is a tapestry of Pepys's daily activities, health concerns, and interactions with various individuals, detailing everything from his medical troubles to his professional duties in the Admiralty. Pepys records his visits to Woolwich and Deptford to oversee ship dispatches, personal reflections on plays attended, and alarming news of military losses in Tangier. He also reveals a glimpse into his relationship with his wife and the complications arising from her health, along with the pressures of managing naval contracts and responsibilities. This portion sets the stage for a vivid picture of life during the Restoration period, filled with both mundane and extraordinary events. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
