Description
Begun ten years before while Pepys was at Cambridge, this work (which Pepys called a “romance”) did not displease him when he re-read it in 1664, and indeed, he doubted he could do as well in the present. Nevertheless, to make “...all things even and clear in the world,” he shredded the only copy of the manuscript.
