- the diary (= personal record of each day's events and thoughts) of James Woodforde (1740-1803), which was published in five volumes (1924-31) more than a hundred years after his death. It describes Woodforde's life as a parson (= priest) in the country village of Weston Longeville in Norfolk, and is full of enthusiasm for the ordinary pleasures of life, especially food.
