"Through England on a Side Saddle in the Time of William and Mary" by Celia Fiennes is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work is a diary detailing the travels and observations of Celia Fiennes as she journeys across England during the reign of William and Mary. It captures the social customs, landscapes, and notable landmarks of the time, offering readers a vivid depiction of early modern England through her eyes. The opening of the diary introduces Fiennes as a keen observer of her surroundings, setting the stage for her detailed accounts of various journeys across England. She reflects on her motivations for traveling, primarily for health benefits, and emphasizes the importance of exploring one's native land. The beginning includes her experiences traveling through different towns and cities, such as Salisbury, where she describes the town's structure, the cathedral, and local market life in great detail. Each entry showcases her appreciation for the architecture, local customs, and the rich history embedded in the landscapes she encounters, inviting readers to join her on this immersive exploration of 17th-century England.
