The diary, presumably compiled after a hard day's work, was his way of being a writer and commentator when otherwise "that wasn't his station in life", she says. O'Keeffe says it shows ideas were "percolating through British society much earlier and more widely than we'd expect" - with the diary working through the debates that Tomlinson might have been having with his neighbours.

But these were still far from modern liberal views - and O'Keeffe says they can be extremely "jarring" arguments. If someone was homosexual by choice, rather than by nature, Tomlinson was ready to consider that they should still be punished - proposing castration as a more moderate option than the death penalty. O'Keeffe says discovering evidence of these kinds of debate has both "enriched and complicated" what we know about public opinion in this pre-Victorian era. Prof Fara Dabhoiwala, from Princeton University in the US, an expert in the history of attitudes towards sexuality, describes it as "vivid proof" that "historical attitudes to same-sex behaviour could be more sympathetic than is usually presumed".
Instead of seeing homosexuality as a "horrible perversion", Prof Dabholwala says the record showed a farmer in could see it as a "natural, divinely ordained human quality". Rictor Norton, an expert in gay history, said there had been earlier arguments defending homosexuality as natural - but these were more likely to be from philosophers than farmers. Matthew Tomlinson was a widower, in his 40s when he wrote his journal in - a man of a "middling" class, not a poor labourer but not rich enough to own his own land.
No-one knows how these private diaries, covering to , ended up in Wakefield Library, but they were there by the s and are presumed to be part of an earlier acquisition of old books and local documents. During elections, Tomlinson was appalled by the corruption, the rum drinkers having to be carried home in wheelbarrows and the "hired ruffians". And at Queen Victoria's coronation he was sceptical about expensive ceremonies and celebrations, calling them all "humbug". This was not a closed world.

His social circle seemed to be avid readers of books and newspapers, following reports of revolutions abroad and riots and insurrections at home. They saw elephants marching through Wakefield in a circus parade and military bands who had competed to hire the most talented black musicians. We know where he lived - Doghouse Farm in Lupset, because he carefully wrote it on the front of his journals.
The farm, at the edge of the landowner's estate, is now under a housing estate and a golf course. All that survives are his diaries. The diary is raising international interest. Who was the writer of this diary?
