The Diary of a Farmer’s Wife 1796–1797, also known as Anne Hughes’ Diary, was first published in instalments in the Farmers Weekly in 1937–1938, and was subsequently reprinted in book form. It purports to be the diary of a farmer’s wife, Anne Hughes, written in England in 1796–1797, which recounts details of her daily life, including recipes, and interactions with her family, servant, and friends. There is much uncertainty about the origins of the diary, and it is at least possible that it is a “modern fiction”, or at best a semi-fictional extrapolation of a now-lost original, although some have regarded it as providing genuine insights into the world of a late 18th-century farming community.
