Autorenporträt
William Bray (1736-1832) was an English antiquary and diarist whose enduring contribution to the literary world is found in the posthumously published 'Extracts from the Diary of William Bray' (1851). Born in Shere near Guildford, Bray was educated as a lawyer but his interests stretched beyond juridical affairs, encompassing local history and antiquarian studies. His memoirs offer a glimpse into 18th-century life and are esteemed for their detail and cultural insights. Bray's literary style is reflective of the Enlightenment period, characterized by a quest for knowledge and discovery, interweaving personal anecdotes with observations of the social, political, and cultural milieu of his time. His diary is not merely a catalog of events but a tapestry rich in historical context, revealing the author's enthusiasm for history and his personal interactions with notable figures of his era. His work remains a valuable resource for historians and provides a unique perspective on the daily life and times of Georgian England.
