The Diary of Samuel Pepys
The Diary of Samuel Pepys has been called a literary work. This freed him up to paint a frank, uncensored portrait of life in London at the time of the Restoration. He offers his first-hand perspective on the major events during the Restoration, including his own role in helping to bring Charles II back from exile to become king, and his aid in both the Great Plague of 1665 and the Great Fire of 1666. It gives "The Diary of Samuel Pepys" a historic distinction as well as a literary one. The first edition was edited by Lord Braybrooke and released form in 1825 in two volumes. It has been revised and enlarged to six volumes, ten volumes, and finally, eleven volumes, these volumes completed The Diary.
