Description
Offering a transcription of Edmund Harrold's diary for the years 1712-1715, this book provides an insight into both a troubled individual, and the society in which he lived and worked.
’The case for reading his [Edmund Harrold’s] unpolished prose is that one humble but sufficiently literate eighteenth-century Mancunian has come alive.’ Northern History ’In rescuing this important diary, editing and introducing it so impressively, we owe Craig Horner a debt of thanks.’ Archives ’As a text, this diary is truly remarkable.’ Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire 'Craig Horner's recently published edition of the diary of Edmund Harrold (a Manchester wig-maker, barber and small-time bookseller) is a gift to anyone interested in ordinary life in eighteenth-century England. Horner's edition joins a growing collection of published eighteenth-century diaries, yet this diary differs significantly from the rest in both authorship and content. ... We owe a debt to Craig Horner for undertaking the painstaking editorial work necessary to bring this valuable historical document into the public domain.' History Workshop Journal
