Produced by David Widger
"Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 42: March/April 1665-66" by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written during the 17th century. This volume of Pepys’ famous diary chronicles daily life and events in London during the later years of the English Civil War and the beginning of the Restoration period. It provides a detailed glimpse into Pepys' personal and professional life, as well as significant historical occurrences, such as the impact of the plague and naval affairs. The opening of the diary reveals Pepys' organized yet personal narrative style, as he details his daily activities, social interactions, and reflections on various issues. He writes about his work at the Admiralty, relationships with colleagues, concerns about the ongoing plague, and the notable financial aspects of his life, including his efforts to improve his wealth and stability. The entries display his meticulous attention to both routine and extraordinary events, painting a vivid picture of life in 17th-century England, and capturing the interplay between personal ambitions and the broader social and political landscape.
