Quotations from the Diary of Samuel Pepys presents a selected gathering of memorable passages from one of the most important diaries in English literature. Samuel Pepys recorded daily life in Restoration London with unusual immediacy: politics, theatre, naval administration, domestic life, illness, gossip, ambition, fear, pleasure, money, books, plague, fire, and the shifting fortunes of public and private life. Arranged by David Widger from the Project Gutenberg edition of Pepys's diary, this selection offers readers a compact way into the wit, candour, curiosity, and historical value of Pepys's writing. Pepys's diary is both a literary landmark and an indispensable record of seventeenth-century England. Its pages preserve the texture of London life during the Restoration, including the reign of Charles II, the Great Plague, the Great Fire of London, the Anglo-Dutch wars, and the ordinary habits of a busy, observant, flawed, and fascinating man. For readers of literary quotations, English diaries, British history, Restoration England, London history, and classic literary collections, Quotations from the Diary of Samuel Pepys provides an accessible selection from a major work of English life-writing.
Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was an English naval administrator, Member of Parliament, and diarist whose private diary became one of the great documents of English literature and Restoration history. Written chiefly between 1660 and 1669, the diary records public events and private life with remarkable detail, energy, and candour. Pepys wrote about the Restoration of Charles II, the plague year of 1665, the Great Fire of London in 1666, naval affairs, court politics, theatre, books, music, money, marriage, servants, food, illness, ambition, and the daily workings of London society. His gift was not only observation but immediacy: he made ordinary life historically vivid.David Widger was the editor and preparer of a wide range of Project Gutenberg texts, including selections and quotation indexes drawn from major literary and historical works. In Quotations from the Diary of Samuel Pepys, Widger arranged memorable passages from the Gutenberg edition of Pepys's diary, making the larger work easier to browse and sample. The selection preserves Pepys's importance as a writer of diaries, literary nonfiction, British history, London history, and seventeenth-century social observation.
