The survival of Edmund Harrold's diary for the years 1712-1715 is a remarkable piece of luck for historians. Not only are such diaries for the 'middling sort' rare for this period, but few provide so candid an insight into the everyday concerns and troubles of early eighteenth century life. Providing a full transcription of the diary, with a substantial introduction and scholarly references, this edition (the first since a partial transcription in the nineteenth century) offers a unique insight into both a troubled individual, and the society in which he lived and worked. Born in 1678, Edmund Harrold seems to have worked his whole life in Manchester as a barber and wigmaker, with a sideline in book dealing. The period covered by his diary, although short, is rich in its insights into his life and thoughts. It lays open his struggles with alcohol, his attitudes to (and frequency of) marital sex, his reactions to the death of his three wives and 5 children, and his religious meditations upon these and other subjects. The diary also relates the ups and downs of his business, together with the day-to-day realities of a provincial barber, from cutting hair, to wig making, to unblocking the nipples of wet nurses (the only medical service he records performing). What emerges from the these pages is a fascinating snapshot into the social, professional and private life of an impoverished inhabitant of Manchester during a period of profound social and economic change. It is impossible to read the diary without developing some sense of empathy with this troubled man, but more than this, it puts flesh onto the bones of history, reminding us that the people we read about and study were all individuals.

She beat me to it! From all I can make out, they seem like our own London version of "Flora" or "Yaffa" wigs (US suppliers who have very good reputations on other alopecia forums)(Hey, I can dream!) I'm going tokeep my new look under wraps until after ouralopecia girls' night out on Saturday.I'll wear it then - so I hopethose that are coming will recognise me! I've also found out that the wig shop has a distributor in Manchester - with limited stock, but anyone up that neck of the woods will at least get a feel for the quality and can order in appropriate colour/length/style wigs for approvalYou may prefer the little bit of ventilation the gaps afford or, like me, you might prefer to security in terms of if a strong wing blows, there's no chance of pale scalp showing through the wefted area, as there's a mesh to disgusie itwhat on earth is a closed cap wefted wig?[QUOTE] Not only do we have to learn how to survive the physical and emotional turmoil of alopecia, but we have to learn a whole new vocabulary!

Is it a wefted wig with a cap under it? How much were the ready made wigs?

And it's a lovely, airy, bright and stylish sweet shop, to boot! Re ready-made versus bespoke It's encouraging to find that there are some jolly good wigmakers around, though it can be hard work separating the wheat from the chaff - i.e 48a4f088c3
