by Francis Kilvert
On This Page
Description
New paper edition of Kilvert's now famous diaries. Initially written without a view for publication, they are remarkable for their spontaneity and unrevised immediacy. In this new selection, Lockwood retains the charming descriptions of the British countryside as well as the romances; Kilvert fell in love several times during the nine years of his diaries. Lockwood also shows Kilvert "in his town clothes", a man of his times, visiting galleries and the Great Exhibition, fascinated by show more scientific discoveries, and becoming a tourist as the British railway network began expansion. Readers will have a delightful visit to the 1870s through the words of one of England's finest writers. show lessTags
