Thomas Turner (9 June 1729 - 6 February 1793) was a shopkeeper in East Hoathly, Sussex, England. He is now most widely known for this diary. Turner kept a diary for eleven years of his life, the first surviving entry of which is 21 February 1754. The diary served a number of purposes, including as an accounting book, a record of legal and property dealings, a place for religious reflection and as a means of describing Turner's everyday life. The failure of his marriage to live up to Turner's expectations is a frequent cause of his low mood in the diary's entries. The diary has never been published in full. David Vaisey's edition retains about one third of its content. The edition also includes a family tree, short biographies of the diary's major characters and a list of Turner's reading material mentioned in Vaisey's extracts. The periodical Sussex Archaeological Collections printed some excerpts from the diary in 1859. Ref ZZ 3. Miriam MacGregor (illustratore).…

Originally published by Oxford University Press in 1984. This is a revised and corrected edition. Thomas Turner (1729-1793) was a hard-working and ingenious village shopkeeper in Sussex. In the eleven years of his diary, he recorded the minutiae of everyday village life in pre-industrial England. This edition contains about a third of the massive whole of the diary, but allows Turner to take his rightful place alongside Pepys, Evelyn, and Woodforde as an indispensable English diarist.
