The period of Samuel Pepys’ Diary, 1660 to 1669, is one of the most dramatic in London’s life: the restoration of the monarchy, the Plague, the Fire, the return of the new age of theatre as well as the development of new scientific ideas. The Diary is a unique record of the time by one man’s intimate reaction to these great events and also the candid and detailed account of his own personal life of domesticity and everyday occasions.
In this lecture, you will learn how in 1666, four-fifths of the City of London was destroyed in five days. Pepys’
eye-witness description is one of the most heartfelt and colourful accounts. This lecture will use further sources to illustrate the witch-hunts of scapegoats, details of maps will show the extent of the disaster and the rapid steps towards rebuilding a city where “business as usual†was the aim.
