Summary "Diary of Samuel Pepys — Volume 35: May/June 1665" by Samuel Pepys is a historical account written during the 17th century, specifically in the mid-17th century. This volume is part of Pepys's extensive diary, chronicling his daily life, professional duties, and the political events of his time, offering an intimate glimpse into the social and political fabric of Restoration England. The opening portion of this diary provides a vivid portrayal of Pepys's life in May and June of 1665, filled with details of his daily activities, social encounters, and reflections on the pressing matters of the time, such as the ongoing naval conflict with the Dutch and the threat of the plague. We see Pepys visiting influential figures, engaging in business discussions regarding the Navy, attending dinners, collecting news about the fleet's actions, and facing the personal turmoil brought about by family health issues and the prevalent fear of disease. The opening sets the tone for the intricate tapestry of day-to-day life in London during a time of both excitement and uncertainty. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
