About the book

John Evelyn's Diary records more than six decades of seventeenth-century English life, from the Civil Wars and Restoration to the reign of William III. Evelyn writes about politics, gardens, architecture, science, travel and court society, and witnessed major events including the Great Fire of London. Less intimate than Pepys but broader in span, the diary is an important source for Restoration culture and the interests of an educated gentleman.
