John Evelyn ranks with his friend Samuel Pepys as one of the best loved of English diarists. This is a study of a controversial episode of his life: his 'seraphic' friendship with Margaret Godolphin, a maid of honour at the Restoration court of Charles II. It also provides insights into the sexual and spiritual worlds of early modern England.
