Synopsis
This is complete edition of the "Diary of Samuel Pepys" in four volumes, comprising the first three calendar years of the diary 1660-1663 with an introduction of 120 pages, 1664-1666 in a second volume, 1667-1669 in a third, plus a fourth companion and index volume. The diary was first published in abbreviated form in 1825. A succession of new editions, re-issues and selections, published in the Victorian era, made it one of the best-known books, and Pepys one of the best-known figures, of English history. But in none of these versions was there a reliable, still less a full text, and in none of them was there a commentary with any claim to completeness. This edition has been in preparation for many years, and offers the work in full, as well as a systematic comment on it. The primary aim of the principal editors was to see that the work was presented in a manner suitable to the historical and literary importance of its contents, at the same time taking into account the interests of the wide public of English-speaking people to whom the diarist himself, rather than the importance of what he wrote, is what matters.

A succession of new editions, re-issues and selections, published in the Victorian era, made the Diary one of the best-known books, and Pepys one of the best-known figures, of English history. But in none of these versions - not even in the Wheatley, which for long stood as the standard edition - was there a reliable, still less a full text, and in none of them was there a commentary with any claim to completeness. This edition was in preparation for many years, and remains the first in which the entire Diary is printed and in which an attempt has been made at systematic comment on it. The primary aim of the principal editors was to see that the Diary was presented in a manner suitable to the historical and literary importance of its contents. At the same time they had in mind the interests of the wide public of English-speaking people to whom the diarist himself, rather than the importance of what he wrote, is what matters.".
