Produced by David Widger
"Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 41: January/February 1665-66" by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written during the mid-17th century. This volume is part of Pepys's renowned diary, which offers a rich, firsthand account of his daily life, work at the Admiralty, and the sociopolitical landscape of 17th-century England. The entries in this period recount events of personal and public significance, including Pepys's observations about the plague and his interactions with notable figures of the time. The opening of this volume highlights Pepys's meticulous nature and penchant for detail as he recounts his daily activities from New Year's Day onwards, including work matters related to the naval victualling issues, social gatherings, and his private life, particularly concerning his friendships and feelings towards various characters such as Mrs. Knipp and others in his social circle. The entries also reflect the societal state of London as they reveal the ongoing challenges of managing public duties amid the backdrop of the plague’s grip on the city, alongside his personal concerns and ambitions. Overall, the beginning chapters set the tone for a mix of professional diligence and vivid personal reflection, encapsulated in Pepys's distinctive style of reflection.
