Pepys's London: Everyday Life in London 1650–1703 brings to life the turbulent city Samuel Pepys knew—shaped by war, plague, and the Great Fire, yet thriving with culture and commerce. The Restoration reopened theatres, introduced women to the stage, and saw the birth of English opera and public concerts.
This was the London of Wren, Dryden, and Purcell, but also of Nell Gwyn, the orange-seller-turned-actress and royal mistress; Colonel Thomas Blood, who attempted to steal the crown jewels; and Titus Oates, whose fabricated Popish Plot shook politics. A city of contrasts, Pepys’s London bustled with markets, luxuries, and entertainments while serving as the political, economic, and intellectual heart of the nation.
