Summary "Diary of John Manningham" by John Manningham is a historical account written during the early 17th century. The book chronicles the thoughts and experiences of John Manningham, a barrister at the Middle Temple, during the years 1602-1603. It records not only his personal reflections but also significant events of the time, including the death of Queen Elizabeth I and the accession of King James I, alongside anecdotes and observations about various figures and societal norms of the era. The opening of this diary provides a glimpse into Manningham's life as a law student, highlighting the vibrant environment of the Middle Temple and the eclectic mix of topics he engages with in his writing. From notes on sermons and discussions with friends to his perspectives on contemporary issues, the diary presents a rich tapestry of life in early 17th-century England. Significant historical occurrences, particularly around the transition from Elizabethan to Jacobean rule, are interwoven with personal anecdotes, offering readers both a historical and social context of the time.
