About the Book

This is complete edition of the "Diary of Samuel Pepys" in four volumes, comprising the first three calendar years of the diary 1660-1663 with an introduction of 120 pages, 1664-1666 in a second volume, 1667-1669 in a third, plus a fourth companion and index volume. The diary was first published in abbreviated form in 1825. A succession of new editions, re-issues and selections, published in the Victorian era, made it one of the best-known books, and Pepys one of the best-known figures, of English history. But in none of these versions was there a reliable, still less a full text, and in none of them was there a commentary with any claim to completeness. This edition has been in preparation for many years, and offers the work in full, as well as a systematic comment on it. The primary aim of the principal editors was to see that the work was presented in a manner suitable to the historical and literary importance of its contents, at the same time taking into account the interests of the wide public of English-speaking people to whom the diarist himself, rather than the importance of what he wrote, is what matters.

About the Author :
Robert Latham, CBE, MA, FBA was born in Audley, Staffordshire. Educated at Cambridge, he was Reader in History in the University of London at Royal Holloway College from 1947 to 1968 when he went to the University of Toronto as Professor of History. From 1970 he was a Fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge, where, as Pepys Librarian until 1982, he had charge of the remarkable collection of books, prints and manuscripts which Pepys left to his old College. He devoted the greater part of his life to the study of the Diary, and died in January 1995. Linnet Latham, his wife, worked with her husband during the compilation of the Index and Companion volumes of the definitive edition of The Diary of Samuel Pepys.

Review :
'Let Pepys' Diary fall open at almost any page at random and he is joyously and compulsively quotable.' Observer 'Pepys was a rogue. And a rogue's memoirs are always entertaining ... They are raw, honest and unapologetic. This is what makes them compulsive reading.' Roy Hattersley, Sunday Express 'One of the greatest texts of our literature and our history is available for the first time in an edition wholly worthy of its towering stature.' Financial Times
