The great diarist Samuel Pepys was an avid collector of books, news and gossip, and reading was a major part of his life and the lives of his contemporaries.

Her extensive research offers significant insights into the man, his world and the far-reaching literary and cultural developments of the seventeenth century.
For this episode, the Senior Producer was Elena Guthrie. It was edited by Thomas Ntinas and produced by Rob Weinberg.
