Robert Sharp, schoolmaster, village constable, shopkeeper, and tax collector, was in a unique position to observe the affairs of the village and the lives of his fellow-villagers, whom he describes with wry humour and affection, often quoting their conversations verbatim. He also took a keen interest in what was happening outside the village, both nationally and internationally, giving the reader a valuable insight into how these events were reflected at the local level and how they were viewed by contemporaries.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Biography: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Biography: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Biography:%20general%20%5BBG%5D%22\"\u003eBG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"OUP Oxford","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52483199172888,"sku":"9780197261736","price":105.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780197261736.jpg?v=1786023898","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-diary-of-robert-sharp-of-south-cave-life-in-a-yorkshire-village-1812-1837-fold-out-book-or-chart-9780197261736","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
