Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This volume of the Farington Diary commences with a house party at Lord Thomond's Taplow Court in the autumn of 1806. This book spans the period from September 23rd to September 29th, and as such, the issues discussed by the attendees are coloured by the events of the day. In addition to diving into the social and political maelstrom of the time, including gossip on everyone from the Prince of Wales to the Prince of Orange, the work provides a portrait of the author. The diarist provides a detailed and observant account of his own experiences, revealing his character and opinions. Indeed, on the 5th of October Farington sketched a self-portrait that provides valuable insights into his style and personality.
