520 Pepys never resumed the personal Diary which he abandoned
in 1669 when he feared (wrongly) that he was going blind.
He was one of the greatest accidental historians, never
intending to record for posterity, only his own amusement.
But he did write several short diaries or journals at
various key moments in his later life. Each is a document
of historical importance and all have the interest which
attaches to any work of an acknowledged master of the
diary form. C S Knighton, for the first time, makes these
diaries available to the general reader. These fascinating
documents enlarge and enhance our picture of Pepys as a
politician and civil servant. As always with Pepys the
tone is engaging and revealing - sometimes accidentally,
as often in these documents Pepys is anxious to present
himself in the best possible light and does not scruple to
lay the blame for any mishaps on others.
