John Toman spent thirty years in education as teacher, lecturer, and schools inspector. He is married with five children and lives in Bristol. For many years, he read and re-read Kilvert's Diary and walked 'Kilvert Country.' During the last fifteen years, he has made an intensive study of the Diary and of Kilvert's background.
"John Toman's Kilvert's Diary and Landscape is the first extensive analysis of Kilvert's prose and a detailed treatment of the rural writer's Diary. Toman delves into the diarist's background and influences to present new insights into the writer and the culture in which he wrote." The Year's Work in English Studies, Vol 90, Issue 1, 2011, p696
