Looking for some diaries/journals of folks, preferably common citizens, that are from older times. Anything from ancient times up until the 20th century would do. Works similar to MarcusAurelius Meditations…
Really fascinated by glimpses of what life was like in various time periods. I know I am being quite vague regarding time period…that is because it is all interesting to me.
Many thanks in advance for your recommendations!

Historical fiction based on actual journals: Frozen River. Story of an 18th century midwife in colonial America. Terrific read. Excerpts from the journals included.
