Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) is known as the first published diarist. His eleven-volume work, written between 1660 and 1669, was first published in 1825. Ever since, this chronicler of his time has held readers’ fascination. The essential anthology of selections from Samuel Pepys’s famous diary is finally available in paperback. By collecting passages by subject, it provides a fresh look at some of the themes running through Pepys’s massive work. Robert and Linnet Latham’s lively presentation shows Pepys the man of fashion, the booklover, the musician and theatergoer as wel

The arrangement of Samuel Pepys’s library was a matter of great concern to him, from the commissioning of the special glazed book presses in which it is still housed to the positioning of volumes by size, with blocks cut to make the volumes level.

This consists of the usual listing in order of shelf-mark to be found in earlier library catalogues, but in addition there is one of the first attempts at a comprehensive subject-index, an `Alphabet’ of the books, their authors and topics. This is of the greatest interest to h

Samuel Pepys is as much a paragon of literature as Chaucer and Shakespeare. His Diary is one of the principal sources for many aspects of the history of its period. In spite of its significance, all previous editions were inadequately edited and suffered from a number of omissions-until Robert Latham and William Matthews went back to the 300-year-old original manuscript and deciphered each passage and phrase, no matter how obscure or indiscreet. The Diary deals with some of the most dramatic events in English history. Pepys witnessed the London Fire, the Great Plague, the Restoration of Ch
