The diary offers a vivid portrayal of mid-Victorian country life through the eyes of Francis Kilvert, a clergyman whose observations reflect both personal experiences and the social landscape of his time. Spanning from 1870 to 1879, it reveals his daily routines, relationships, and the communities of Clyro and Langley Burrell. Though incomplete, the selected entries showcase Kilvert's literary talents, drawing comparisons to notable diarists like Dorothy Wordsworth and Samuel Pepys. His life, marked by dedication to his parish and a brief marriage, is encapsulated in this minor classic.
