Samenvatting
In this second volume in his three-volume history of the life and career of Samuel Pepys, originally published in 1935, esteemed historian Arthur Bryant records Pepys's life from the end of his diary in 1669 to 1683, when Pepys was sent to Tangier to aid in the evacuation of the English colony there. Bryant draws on Pepys' unpublished manuscripts and notes from the Admiralty to illuminate this post-diary period, in which Pepys was accused of participating in a Catholic plot against Charles II as well as being elected MP for Harwich. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Pepys or Restoration politics.
