This essay will analyse the usefulness of the Diary of Samuel Pepys to a historian studying the history of Restoration England. I chose this particular question because I am not very familiar with this time period and it would interest me greatly to have a chance to study it in depth. To answer the question I have read a concise summary of the diary of Samuel Pepys and then compared the way of life described in this text with other sources from the same time period. I have made extensive use of the dairy itself why also carefully selecting other sources that reinforce or question the overall reliability of the diary.
