Preparing Mary Hardy and her World<\/em> for publication is getting on well. Almost all the text and editorial annotations are complete.

At the time The Diary of Mary Hardy<\/em> was published in April 2013 the text of the four commentary volumes had already been drafted and many of the illustrations identified. It has taken five years to finalise and typeset nearly 2800 pages.<\/p>\n

The task of preparing the index will occupy the coming months.<\/p>\n

Like the other staithes or quays around the Broads this was a coaling wharf, with two sizeable sailing vessels called keels berthed there in the 1790s.<\/p>\n

The contrast between the busy industrialised riverside of the past and the quiet, shady banks in many parts of the Broads today could not be more stark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
