fiction as a social document · Sunday June 19, 2005
I’m back from a climbing holiday in France and have been thinking about this area more widely. There is of course Phil Gyford’s Pepys Diary project which is clearly an annotated commentary on a regularly updated basis.
I’m interested in how Phil has turned Pepys Diaries into a social commentary on life in the 1660s. I think that the contextualisation and the community really help people engage and understand the life of Samuel Pepys.
I’d like to explore some other authors too.
