The work chronicles the daily life and personal experiences of Pepys, a prominent Englishman who served as the Clerk of the Acts and Secretary to the Admiralty during the Restoration period. The diary offers a firsthand look at the political, social, and cultural contexts of the time, as well as detailed reflections on his professional encounters and personal relationships. The opening of this volume reveals Pepys' routine activities in February and March, detailing his travels around London, attendance at various plays, and interactions with colleagues in government. He shares his thoughts on artistic endeavors, such as the paintings for the new Theatre at Oxford and the challenges faced by actors due to conflicts among the influential people of the time. Moreover, there are glimpses of his domestic life, including his relationship with his wife and the tension arising from her jealousy.
