The 'Diary of Samuel Pepys' is a detailed historical account written by Samuel Pepys, first published in 1766. Covering the years 1660-1669, it offers an intimate glimpse into the life of a prominent figure during the English Restoration, documenting significant events such as the Restoration of Charles II, the Great Plague, and the Great Fire of London. Pepys's candid observations on both personal experiences and societal changes make this diary a unique literary masterpiece and a vital source for understanding 17th-century England. This edition is edited by Robert Latham, a noted Pepys scholar.
