About

Robert Francis Kilvert (1840–1879) was an English clergyman remembered for his diaries reflecting rural life in the 1870s, which were published over fifty years after his death.

His diary, which paints a unique picture of country life in mid-Victorian times, has come to be recognized as a classic: its author has been compared to Dorothy Wordsworth, whom he admired, and even to Pepys. After his death from peritonitis, the diaries were edited and censored, possibly by his widow. The complete surviving diaries were destroyed, for reasons unknown, by an elderly niece who owned them, except for volumes which had been given to other people, while the original transcription was destroyed by fire in the Blitz.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome images.
