‘We do naturally … hate the French’

“…Thus, somewhat earlier in the Diary, Pepys noted 'with Sir J. Cutler and Mr. Grant to the Royall Oak Tavern … where Alexander Broome the poet was … and here drank a sort of French wine, called Ho Bryan, that hath a good and most particular taste that I never met with'. 73 As in the examples above, the diarist's favourable experience of a material object was mediated by the social context. At the time, Pepys's status was beneath those of Cutler, a city-merchant-cum-politician, and the courtier-poet, Brome.…”

“…Prints of France were displayed at Pepys's home -a domestic feature intended to impress select publics. 57 By the end of the diary, Pepys was using his greater wealth and influence to secure French books and prints at source. 58 As Fernand Braudel recognised many years ago, 'costume everywhere is a persistent reminder of social position'.…”

Recruiting Citizens for Soldiers in Seventeenth-Century English Ballads

“…149 In 1663, a Presbyterian friend remarked to Samuel Pepys how the disbanded soldiers of the former New Model Army had gone quietly back to their trades, "this captain turned a shoemaker; the lieutenant, a baker; this a brewer; that a haberdasher; this common soldier, a porter; and every man in his apron and frock," while the "gentlemen soldiers" or swordsmen of the cavalier party, had found it much more difficult to adjust to civilian life, "go[ing] with their belts and swords, swearing and cursing, and stealing; running into people's houses, by force oftentimes, to carry away something." 150 One, often reprinted, song expressed the bitter sense of betrayal of the disbanded and disregarded soldier: determined to eschew the shame of "low" trades like begging, he turns instead to the more soldier-like and dangerous life of the highwayman. 151 To some extent this reflected the social reality of criminals with military backgrounds and also a stereotypical fear of old soldiers disrupting the norms of civil society.…”
