Samuel Pepys

Samuel Pepys
English civil servant Samuel Pepys kept extraordinarily detailed and honest diaries about his career, his society, and his personal life from 1660 to 1669. They were partly published in 1825 when his shorthand was deciphered. A modern 11-volume edition, completed in 1983, provides vivid insights into 17th-century England.
