The Diary of Samuel Pepys Complete 11 Volume Paperback Set
Samuel Pepys
University of California Press / HarperCollins
2000
First U.S. Paperback Edition
Complete 11-volume paperback set in very good to near fine condition. All volumes are clean, unmarked, and tightly bound. Most appear unread, with crisp interiors and only light shelf wear from storage and handling. Volume one has some light cover wear.
This complete set contains the diaries covering the years 1660 through 1669, together with the Companion and Index volumes. Edited by Robert Latham and William Matthews, these authoritative editions were first published in the United Kingdom before this First U.S. Paperback Edition was issued by the University of California Press in 2000.
One of the greatest diaries in the English language, Samuel Pepys’ remarkable firsthand account chronicles the Restoration of Charles II, the Great Plague, the Great Fire of London, naval affairs, politics, theater, and everyday life in seventeenth-century England with uncommon honesty and wit. The Latham and Matthews edition remains the definitive scholarly text, featuring extensive annotations that place Pepys’ observations in their proper historical context. Complete sets are increasingly sought after by historians, collectors, and readers of classic literature.
