The Diary of a Country Parson

James Woodforde
18th Century UK Non-Fiction

What I really loved about this diary was the sheer number of random facts that I learned about the late 18th century. Things like when umbrellas first came into use, or the fact that sometimes visits and dinners were postponed due to the lack of a moon to illuminate the roads.

The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman

Laurence Sterne
18th Century UK Literature

The little details and techniques matter, and can be the difference between a good book and an unforgettable one. This book changed the way I saw font, style, technique, and it showed me the power of humour to be as immortal as literature itself. This is a review of Laurence Sterne’s Tristram Shandy.
