Drawing from the extensive, two-and-a-half-million-word diary of Joseph Ryder, this study offers an intimate portrait of an 18th-century English clothier. Matthew Kadane meticulously analyzes Ryder’s private writings to explore the intersection of religious fervor, commercial ambition, and the daily material realities of the Georgian era, providing a rare window into the interior life of a provincial tradesman.
