The Diary of William Upcott

The project, led by Professor Mark Philp and involving two of the Department's undergraduates (Aysuda Aykan and Curtis Leung), is transcribing and editing the diary of William Upcott (1779-1845), an antiquarian and librarian who lived most of his adult life in London. The material includes extensive reporting of his activities between 1806 and 1810; a tour of the Midlands and Peak District in 1823, and some autobiographical reflections in letters to others.
