Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 38: September 1665
Produced by David Widger
"Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 38: September 1665" by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written in the 17th century during a tumultuous time in England. This diary captures the daily life, observations, and experiences of Pepys, a prominent naval administrator, as he navigates the challenges of living through the Great Plague and the Second Anglo-Dutch War. The narrative provides insights into political, social, and personal matters of the time. In this particular volume, Pepys documents his life in London amidst the backdrop of the plague's devastation. He reflects on visits with acquaintances, discussions about government affairs such as naval strategies and financial issues, and the impact of the plague on the community. The diary reveals his concerns, both professional and personal, including his health anxieties, social gatherings, and attempts to maintain a semblance of normalcy in a city struck by disease. Through vivid details and his characteristic humor, Pepys offers readers an intimate glimpse into the resilience and complexities of life during one of history's most challenging periods.
