Recenzii
’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 We owe a debt to Craig Horner for undertaking the painstaking editorial work necessary to bring this valuable historical document into the public domain.'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
Descriere
This volume presents a fully-referenced modern edition of the diary of the Manchester barber Edmund Harrold, covering the period 1712-1715. It is remarkable for its insights into his life and thoughts, laying open his struggles with alcohol, his attitudes to (and frequency of) marital sex, his reactions to the death of his three wives and 5 children, and his religious meditations upon these and other subjects. The diary also relates the ups and downs of his business, and the day-to-day realities of life as a provincial barber. More than this though, it is a frank, and often anguished, insight into the mind of an eighteenth century man, seeking to come to terms with himself, his god and a changing society.
