 Olave Lecture. Professor Kate Loveman joins us to talk about her award win
 ning book exploring how Samuel Pepys’s Diary has been received through t
 he ages\, since its first publication 200 years ago.\n\n"During the 1660s\
 , Samuel Pepys kept a secret diary full of intimate details and political 
 scandal. Had the contents been revealed\, they could have destroyed his ma
 rriage\, ended his career\, and seen him arrested. This engaging book expl
 ores the creation of the most famous journal in the English language\, how
  it came to be published in 1825\, and the many remarkable roles it has pl
 ayed in British culture since then. Kate Loveman – one of the few people
  who can read Pepys's shorthand – unlocks the riddles of the diary\, inv
 estigating why he chose to preserve such private matters for later generat
 ions. She also casts fresh light on the women and sexual relationships in 
 Pepys's life and on Black Britons living in or near his household. Explori
 ng the many inventive uses to which the diary has been put\, Loveman shows
  how Pepys's history became part of the history of the nation."
