Description
Walking Pepys's London brings to life the world of Samuel Pepys through five walks through the city. In his diary, Pepys chronicled these daily strolls, which became an alternative to his office work at Whitehall. This book offers a unique perspective on 17th-century London, drawing parallels between Pepys's experience and that of modern-day Londoners. By exploring the streets where Pepys walked, we gain insight into the city's history and its enduring impact on people's lives. Jacky Colliss Harvey reconstructs the sensory and emotional experience of Pepys's time, revealing fascinating details about life in 17th-century London.
