Evelyn Newby
Joseph Farington's Diaries provide what is generally recognised as the most important source material for the study of British Art from 1793 to 1821. They are centred on the life of the Royal Academy. The Diaries have been published in full for the first time by the Yale University Press in 16 volumes (1978-1984). Evelyn Newby is engaged on the important task of providing an index to this mass of information.
