Published here for the first time, the diary of George Lloyd
(1642-1718) presents a richly detailed account of the everyday life
of an unremarkable man during two phases of his life: his attempt,
between 1675 and 1678, to establish himself as a schoolmaster in
Colchester; and the twilight of his career as a Customs officer at
the Port of London in 1711-12. Virtually unknown to scholarship,
Lloyd's diary is not a record of notable events, political
upheavals, or religious controversies. Rather, it is a uniquely
quotidian text consisting of regular daily entries documenting the
activities and experiences of an individual far removed from - and
largely unconcerned with - the great events of history. This diary
will be an invaluable resource for scholars studying many aspects
of early modern English social and cultural history, including
sociality, fashion, religious observance, courtship, food and
drink, and working life.
