Summary "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 21: March/April 1662-63" by Samuel Pepys is a historical account, written during the mid-17th century. This volume of Pepys' famous diary provides an intimate look into the daily life of 17th-century England through the eyes of Pepys himself, a naval administrator in the service of the English government. It encompasses both personal events and significant historical occurrences, as Pepys details his observations and experiences within the political and social landscape of the time. The opening of the diary introduces the reader to Pepys' routine, starting with observations from religious services and encounters with various historical figures of his day, as well as discussions about political issues, such as the relationship between the monarchy and the parliament regarding religious tolerance. Pepys provides insights into his thoughts on beauty, friendship, and the nuances of daily life, such as meals, business dealings, and personal relationships, all while deftly interweaving humor and candid reflections on his own character and social status. The reader gets a sense of the vibrancy of the period alongside the charm of Pepys' style, setting the stage for a richly detailed and engaging exploration of the past.
