To accompany publication of their new edition, the volume's editors - Mark Philp, Aysuda Aykan and Curtis Leung - write for the RHS blog on the life and work of William Upcott (1779-1845) bit.ly/3LXaIYR.

'A Collector Collected' is now available online / in print from @universitypress.cambridge.org
Front page of the RHS blog article with full abstract: "In this post Mark Philp, Aysuda Aykan and Curtis Leung introduce their new volume in the Royal Historical Society’s Camden Series, ‘A Collector Collected: The Journals of William Upcott, 1803-1823’, published in November 2025. William Upcott (1779–1845) rose from humble origins to become a major collector of coins, prints, drawings, and, above all, autographs. His journals offer a detailed, non-elite account of a London life, interspersed with forays into the provinces to visit relatives in Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire, and to pursue his trade as a cataloguer and organiser of people’s collections. His later ‘Tour of the Peak’ in 1823, evidences his growing expertise and his open acceptance by his fellow enthusiasts. Upcott’s diaries are lively and engaging narratives of his life and activities in a world that he increasingly made his own, overcoming his deficiencies to become an accomplished bibliophile and collector."
