Content description
Ella Coltman’s Freshwater diary, [1888], 1 volume. Coltman would accompany the Coleridge family to visit Freshwater on the Isle of Wight along with the Warre-Cornish family.
It consists of a notebook containing 40 pages of autograph entries, which are presumed to have been copied out by Coltman from the original at a later date. The entries cover the thirteen-day visit to the Isle of Wight, including visits to see Alfred Tennyson and his family.
The date given on the cover of the notebook is 1889, however research suggests that the actual date of the diary was 1888.
Kept with the diary is a typescript of the diary entries and two copies of ‘Table-rapping with Tennyson: Ella Coltman: Visit to Freshwater’ edited by Michael Millgate, 2006. The offprint contains a transcription of the diary, published in Literary Imagination 8.1 (2006): 1-17, Association of Literary Scholars and Critics, in addition to biographical details on Ella Coltman and notes on the text of the journal.
