The World of Samuel Pepys (Pepys Anthology)

This anthology, containing extracts from Samual Pepys Diary is published to coincide with the 300th anniversary of the great diarist's death. Passages are collected together by subject, providing a fresh look at some of the themes that run through the massive complete work. Robert and Linnet Latham's presentation allows the reader to become absorbed in a single topic without interruption, often providing new insight into Pepys's private and public life. We see Pepys the man of fashion, the booklover, the musician, the theatre-goer, Pepys the husband and Pepys the public servant, at work and at leisure.
