His diaries, written between 1862 and 1912, lift the veil of anonymity hiding the people, processes and networks involved in the creation of Victorian newspapers. They also tell us about Victorian fatherhood, family life, and the culture of a Victorian town.Diaries of nineteenth-century provincial journalists are extremely rare. Anthony Hewitson went from printer’s apprentice to newspaper reporter and eventually editor of his own paper. Every night he jotted down the day’s doings, his thoughts and feelings. The diaries are a lively account of the reporter’s daily round, covering meetings and court cases, hunting for gossip or attending public executions and variety shows, in and around Preston, Lancashire.Andrew Hobbs’s introduction and footnotes provide background and analysis of these valuable documents. This full scholarly edition offers a wealth of new information about reporting, freelancing, sub-editing, newspaper ownership and publishing, and illuminates aspects of Victorian periodicals and culture extending far beyond provincial newspapers.The Diaries of Anthony Hewitson, Provincial Journalist are an indispensable research tool for local and regional historians, as well as social and political historians with an interest in Victorian studies and the media. They are also illuminating for anyone interested in nineteenth-century social and cultural history.Open Book Publishers gratefully acknowledge funding for this book from the Marc Fitch Fund, the Historic Society of Lancashire & Cheshire, and the University of Central Lancashire. 04 00 List of Illustrations Acknowledgements Introduction Editing method Maps ‘My Life’ Family history and brief autobiography Hewitson’s reminiscences of his time on the Preston Guardian The diaries 1865 1866 1867 1868 1872 1873 1874 1875 1881 1884 1885 1887 People frequently mentioned Glossary of technical, dialect and archaic words The Diaries of Anthony Hewitson, Provincial Journalist Chronology Biographical sketch of Hewitson from the Yorkshire Bibliographer, 1888 Hewitson’s diaries and other papers in Lancashire Archives Books written or edited by Hewitson Bibliography Books read by Hewitson Index Open Book Publishers 01 Open Book Publishers 04 01 20220926 02 WORLD 06 15 9781800642362 06 15 9781800642379 06 15 9781800642386 06 15 9781800646889 06 15 9781800642416 06 15 9781800642393 06 15 9781800642409 WORLD 09 Open Book Publishers 20 02 5.99 GBP WORLD
