An illustrated guide to the finest literary and historic diaries from ancient times to the present day.
Professor Kate Williams is an author, historian, and broadcaster. She has written five history books, including England's Mistress and Rival Queens, and four historical novels. She is a regular on television and radio, presenting her own shows including The Stuarts, Inside Versailles and Restoration Home, and discussing social history, royal history, and politics and culture on shows such as Newsnight. CNN's royal historian, she is Professor of History at the University of Reading and gives lectures across the world.
This is a lushly illustrated look at the personal writing of some
of the past's great thinkers, from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and
Charles Darwin to Frida Kahlo and Anne Lister. It's a diverse,
varied list, ranging the centuries and continents, from
11th-century Japan to World War II, and the journals, notebooks and
letters reproduced offer genuine insights into lives lived in other
places and other times.
