A doorway to a living, breathing 1662 London, opened anew. Diary Of Samuel Pepys - Volume 17 offers readers a private theatre of daily life, where a clerk-dabbler becomes a window into a city stung by plague, shaken by fire, and ruled by shifting naval and political currents. This carefully restored edition gathers Pepys's lucid, sometimes wry, observations on life in 1660s London-from bustling streets and markets to the hush after curfews, from personal worries to grand affairs of state.

A doorway to a living, breathing 1662 London, opened anew. Diary Of Samuel Pepys - Volume 17 offers readers a private theatre of daily life, where a clerk-dabbler becomes a window into a city stung by plague, shaken by fire, and ruled by shifting naval and political currents. This carefully restored edition gathers Pepys's lucid, sometimes wry, observations on life in 1660s London-from bustling streets and markets to the hush after curfews, from personal worries to grand affairs of state. It is more than a diary; it is a living record of early modern Britain, a mirror for historians and a compass for readers drawn to the texture of the period. The volume speaks to both the casual reader and the academic-minded collector, offering a vivid, intimate path into Restoration-era England without sacrificing literary grace. A literary and historical touchstone, this volume holds enduring value for classroom and scholar alike, and for anyone who loves a well-told slice of history. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, it invites fresh discovery of life, work, and daily ritual in a city recovering its breath after upheaval. A must for those studying historical diary anthology, life in 1660s London, or the broader tapestry of 17th century Britain, and a welcoming entry point for diarists in the Restoration era.
