About This Item
London England: The Folio Society. Hardback. Journal of a Country Curate. Decorative boards with brown cloth and gilt lettering. In a very good slip case. Foxing to spine of slip case. The case of Kilvert is strange. Eminent critics have hailed his diary as a classic, ranking with Pepys, comparable with but more vivid and more human than Doroth Wordsworth. Yet many people who would regard as an insult the suggestion that they are not acquainted with Pepys, have never even heard of Kilvert. On the other hand he has a passionately addicted following and a flourishing society devoted to the study of his life and writing. Illustrated. 338 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) . Fine. Cloth & Decorative Boards. 1st Folio Society Edition. 1977.
