Summary:
Edwin Waugh was to become the most famous of the dialect poets who flourished in Lancashire in the second half of the nineteenth century. But when he wrote this diary he was thirty, unknown, in debt, and with his recent marriage already in serious trouble. His new job as assistant secretary of the Lancashire Public Schools Association took him from his native Rochdale to Manchester, and his account of his work, day to day life, and his dramatically deteriorating marriage, makes fascinating reading.
