About The Author
Samuel Pepys
Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was a naval administrator, Member of Parliament and best remembered as a diarist. Kept between 1660-1669 and written in Shelton’s shorthand, Pepys’ diary recorded major historical events, like the Plague and the Great Fire of London alongside his more personal concerns and activities, including politics, his work in public life and rows with his wife, Elizabeth.
