What is The complete diary of Samuel Pepys : a new and complete transcription about?

The companion volume to the complete Diary of Samuel Pepys in its most authoritative and acclaimed edition. Samuel Pepyss Diary was first published in abbreviated form in 1825. A succession of new versions brought out in the Victorian era made the Diary one of the best-known books and Pepys one of the best-known figures of English history. However, not until the publication of the Latham and Matthews edition was the Diary presented in its complete form, with a newly transcribed text and the benefit of a systematic commentary. The text of the Diary is in nine volumes, followed by this Companion and an Index. The edition has justly become established as the definitive version, hailed by The Times as one of the glories of contemporary English publishing and by C. P. Snow as a triumph of modern scholarship. The Companion has been compiled and edited by Robert Latham, with specialist contributions from other scholars. The result of many years research, it is an essential adjunct to the Diary text. Over 1,700 entries, alphabetically arranged, fill in the background details about the people and places mentioned in the Diary. In addition there are longer articles on a wide range of subject
