Description

The Shorter Pepys selected and edited by Robert Latham

This thousand-page book contains one third of the text of Samuel Pepys’s diary, along with maps, a chronology, a glossary of archaic words, and an unusually helpful index. The diary, written in commercial short-hand, spans the 1660s, a decade in which power passed from the Roundheads to Charles II, London was ravaged by plague and then by fire, the English repeatedly fought the Dutch, and Pepys grew to be one of the most important civil servants in the land. A new and complete transcription, edited by Robert Latham and William Matthews.
