Riassunto

The diary of Samuel Pepys is possibly the most colourful account of life in 17th-century England. Although he was not known as a published diarist during his lifetime, Pepys enjoyed a high profile in London society thanks to his successful naval career and close links with the monarchy. Part of London's elite set, and patronised by such important dignitaries as Sir Edward Montagu, Pepys actively sought the intellectual stimulation to be found in the company of some of the leading personalities of the time. Profiles of Charles II, John Evelyn, Elizabeth Pepys and Sir Isaac Newton, all feature in this book - an overview of society during the Restoration.
