La peste n'a pas tué indifféremment. Les pauvres mouraient bien plus que les riches : parce qu'ils étaient pauvres et (surtout?) parce qu'ils n'avaient pas accès aux données statistiques, concernant la morbidité de la maladie...

Another ludicrous canceling of a name from the past

Shaming the dead is an asinine culture warriors’ pastime. Now it’s the great diarist Samuel Pepys’s turn.

Andrew Doyle is the author of “Free Speech and Why It Matters” and “The New Puritans.”

Samuel Pepys was, famously, an extraordinary diarist, offering a vivid first-hand account of life in Restoration England from 1660 to 1669. He was an eyewitness to the Great Fire of London in 1666 and recorded fascinating details of the ravages of the bubonic plague. His diaries were also intensely personal, with entries that echo familiarly across the centuries, whether recounting his rivalries and triumphs in his job as a naval administrator, his frustrations (can’t find a coach in the rain!), his delight in friends or boredom with dull sermons.

It's not shaming him. The grumpy old dude is dead, and has been for 350 years.

It's merely accepting that history isn't complete, and sometimes new things happen and that sometimes your beloved historical "free speech" is pretty abhorrent when you frame it […]

Heute das Jahr 1665 (das ist Bd. VI) von Samuel #Pepys Tagebuch zuendegelesen und was soll ich sagen: es gibt keine schönere Seitenlektüre, die uns zeigt, wie wenig sich im Alltag seit über 350 Jahren geändert hat.
Maloche, Alltag, Alltagsärger, Routine, Gespräche, kleine Freuden, große dumme […]

The Confessions of Samuel Pepys by Guy de la Bédoyère review – journal of a predator Newly decoded extracts expose the celebrated 17th-century diarist and naval administrator as a rapacious abuser

Think you know #Pepys?
“He often uses the words "towsing" and "tumbling" to describe what he is doing with women which sounds jolly and bucolic until De la Bédoyère explains that these terms are euphemisms for violence.” #VAWG

»Besuchte heute Mr. Rawlinson in der Fenchurch Street, um mich nach seinem Befinden zu erkundigen, und erfuhr, daß Mr. Beversham, der Krämer in Bow, an der Pest gestorben ist — was mich sehr betrübte, weil seine hübsche Frau jetzt wohl fortziehen wird.«

Am at Sam’s parents’. Eliza and John Hunt came to sup, and Sam too. Will be staying here as Sam has to go away on business. Not my first choice, but oh well. Always nice to see Eliza. She is so droll! #1661 #herstory #history #pepys #diary
