Beschreibung
The Diary of John Evelyn (1620-1706) is one of the principal
literary sources for life and manners in the English seventeenth
century. Evelyn was one of an influential group of men which included
Wren, Pepys and Boyle; a founding member of the Royal Society, he was
also a friend of Charles II, a Commissioner for sick seamen and
prisoners of war during the Dutch Wars, a prime mover behind Chelsea and Greenwich Hospitals, and a prolific author who wrote about architecture, art, arboriculture, fashion, and pollution. In his Diary he recorded the events and experiences of his long and remarkable life;
there are also extensive references to his family, including his
poignant recollections of the children who predeceased him. This
edition has been based on the only comprehensive and accurate
transcription, by E.S. de Beer, published by Oxford University Press in
1955, but the text has been reworked into individual years and months
while retaining the original spelling and grammar throughout. GUY
DE LA BÉDOYERE holds degrees in history and archaeology from the Universities of Durham and London.
