By the mid-nineteenth century, its original owners, John and Amelia Harris, were prominent members of society in that dynamic community. Their children grew up in the affluent and cultured setting of a family whose increasing prosperity advanced with that of London and western Ontario. If London had an elite, the Harris family was part of it, and Eldon House was an important focal point of the social regimen of the day. A considerable corpus of family papers within the Eldon House and prominent among these papers is a collection of diaries that are excerpted in this volume, encapsulating the personalities, activities, and voices of the Harrises of London. These diaries are valuable because of the details of the warp and woof of daily life in the nineteenth century. But, more importantly, they are women's diaries. As such, they speak to us of the verities of personal, domestic, and societal life in the neglected voice of women. Together, they provide a fascinating perspective of these women's lives in, around, and beyond Eldon House. 410 0$aPublications of the Champlain Society.$pOntario series ;$v15. 606 $aWomen$zOntario$zLondon$vDiaries 607 $aLondon (Ont.)$xHistory 607 $aLondon (Ont.)$xDescription and travel 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen 676 $a971.326 702 $aHarris$b Robin Sutton$f1919- 702 $aHarris$b Terry G. 712 02$aChamplain Society. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148696203321 996 $aThe Eldon House diaries$92024903 997 $aUNINA
