Samuel Pepys walked round London for miles. The 21/2 miles to
Whitehall from his house near the Tower of London was accomplished
on an almost daily basis, and so many of his professional
conversations took place whilst walking that the streets became for
him an alternative to his office. With Walking Pepys's London, the
reader will come to know life in London from the pavement up and
see its streets from the perspective of this renowned diarist. The
city was almost as much a character in Pepys's life as his family
or friends, and the book draws many parallels between his
experience of 17th-century London and the lives of Londoners today.
Colliss Harvey's new book reconstructs the sensory and emotional
experience of the past, bringing geography, biography and history
into one. Full of fascinating details and written with
extraordinary sensitivity, Walking Pepys's London is an unmissable
exploration into the places that made the greatest English diarist
of all time.
