(Henry Benjamin) Bright, Mynors 1818 1883 The Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete Produced by David Widger "The Diary of Samuel Pepys — Complete" by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written in the mid-17th century, specifically spanning the years from 1659 to 1669. This richly detailed diary offers a firsthand perspective on daily life during a transformative period in English history, including the Restoration of Charles II. Pepys documents his personal experiences, work as a naval administrator, and the socio-political events of his time, thus providing readers with an intimate look at both mundane and significant occurrences. The opening of the diary introduces us to Samuel Pepys's life at the end of 1659, revealing his mundane daily existence as he reflects on his health and domestic situation. He resides in Axe Yard with his wife and a servant, and navigates the uncertainty of the political climate, including disruptions caused by military figures like Lord Lambert. Pepys notes his wife's unfulfilled hopes of pregnancy, along with his observations of political events and personal affairs, setting the stage for an engaging account that intertwines his private and public life. This opening establishes not just the backdrop against which Pepys lived but also the diary's promise of detailed socio-political commentary combined with personal musings.
