Publication image and link Our latest publication is The Diary of Amy Dillwyn, 1863-1917, edited by Kirsti Bohata.

This book is an edited transcript of the diary of Amy Dillwyn: known as The Pioneer, she was an author, industrialist and humanitarian who constantly challenged the norms of her day. As well as these aspects of her life, her diaries shed light on her love for Olive Talbot and provide evidence for the way same-sex attraction and gender identity were understood in the Victorian age.

Our 2020 volume, A Gower Gentleman: the Diary of Charles Morgan of Cae Forgan, Llanrhidian, 1834-1857, has an important extra feature. Because we consider the original diaries on which the book is based to be such an important historical resource, we have made them available online in their entirety, in transcription.
