The Diaries of Sarah Hurst 1759-1762 by Sarah Hurst

The Diaries of Sarah Hurst records the day to day life of a young woman who lived in Horsham, Sussex between 1759 and 1762. Consequently, this book can claim to be one of the most important sources of information on life in the 18th century. The Diaries of Sarah Hurst not only create a vivid portrayal of the local town's people they also provide a fascinating insight into the social history of women, as they contain the intimate thoughts and feelings of a young woman and her relationships with the people around her. Sarah's intimate diaries can't help but touch the reader as she writes about her love for Henry Smith, a man who was thirteen years older than her.

Sarah Hurst was the eldest child of Richard Hurst. She had two sisters and a much younger brother. Sarah met Henry Smith when she was just sixteen years old. When Susan C. Djabri moved to Horsham in 1992 she became a volunteer at Horsham Museum, organiser of the local history group of the Horsham Museum Society and the Hon. Editor of the local history journal, Horsham Heritage. She has written or edited books on Thomas Medwin, the Shelley family and their estates, the letters of Bysshe and Timothy Shelley, the diaries of Sarah Hurst, and a series of booklets on the 1844 tithe map and 1813 enclosure map for the Horsham Museum Society. Susan also gives talks and presentations on local history and leads town walks.
