Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The companion volume to the complete Diary of Samuel Pepys in its most authoritative and acclaimed edition. Samuel Pepyss Diary was first published in abbreviated form in 1825. A succession of new versions brought out in the Victorian era made the Diary one of the best-known books and Pepys one of the best-known figures of English history. However, not until the publication of the Latham and Matthews edition was the Diary presented in its complete form, with a newly transcribed text and the benefit of a systematic commentary. The text of the Diary is in nine volumes, followed by this Companion and an Index. The edition has justly become established as the definitive version, hailed by The Times as one of the glories of contemporary English publishing and by C. P. Snow as a triumph of modern scholarship.The Companion has been compiled and edited by Robert Latham, with specialist contributions from other scholars. The result of many years research, it is an essential adjunct to the Diary text.Over 1,700 entries, alphabetically arranged, fill in the background details about the people and places mentioned in the Diary. In addition there are longer articles on a wide range of subjects of particular relevance to Pepys and his period, such as the Great Fire, the Dutch Wars and the Plague. Others reflect Pepyss lively interest in the arts, science and medicine, and his work for the Navy. In addition, many aspects of social history are covered in articles on, for example, dress, food, drink, taverns and travel. The book is completed by an extensive glossary, genealogical tables, a chronology and maps.The Companion will not only enrich every readers appreciation of Pepyss magnificent Diary, but forms in its own right a fascinating and varied survey of seventeenth-century England. A companion to Samuel Pepys's Diary. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
