The Cape Diaries of Lady Anne Barnard 1799-1800. Volume 1.

Van Riebeeck Society Second Series No.29 Cape Town 1999 (for 1998). Gilt on chocolate cloth boards. tipped-in frontis of Lady Anne Barnard. 368pp 8vo. 0.8kg.

Consequently they express Lady Anne's uncensored views on a wide variety of topics, social and political. The diaries are not only illuminating but also vastly entertaining because of her brilliant command of language and the pleasure she took in the act of writing itself. They greatly enlarge our historical awareness of the transition in her day from the aristocratic, hierarchical world of the 18thC to the fast-emerging bourgeois culture of the 19thC.
