A fascinating collection of diary entries and photographs, offering us a unique insight into the lives and times of ordinary Victorians. We witness life inside a hospital through the diary entires of a patient; the difficult decisions faced by a clergyman acting as charitable provider; a couple's grief at being parted by the war in India; a young woman's fears for her errant brother; and much more. Victorian Diaries presents the intricacies of ordinary daily lives with clarity and humor, and allows us to share their triumphs, sadnesses, and romances.
