Pepys's diary has made him a literary celebrity. In his own time he was known as the chief naval official under Charles II and James II and this aspect of the diarist's life has not received the attention it deserves from his modern biographers. Charles Knighton, a Pepys scholar with a particular interest in naval history, reveals the full extent of Pepys's achievements in creating a modern navy which was both permanent and professional.
C.S. KNIGHTON has edited the Calendar of State Papers Domestic volumes for the reigns of Edward VI and Mary I for the Public Records Office. He also compiled the Catalogue of Modern Manuscripts in the Pepys Library at Magdalene College, Oxford.
