If you're interested in sampling the life of the 1660s, I recommend following the Twitter account based on Samuel Pepys' diary from that period: https://twitter.com/samuelpepys
Pepys was a senior British official responsible for naval affairs, but also talks about daily life and his own hopes, fears, desires, and frustrations. He was a philanderer, and his encounters feature in the entries (often switching to French) as do major events of the day -- the Great Fire of 1666, worries about a Dutch invasion, etc.
