Poet in 1960. In 1992 a new selection was published under the editorship of David Lockwood, ''Kilvert, the Victorian: A New Selection from Kilvert's Diaries'' (Seren Books, 1992). The '''' was published by Alison Hodge in 1989. The National Library Of Wales , which holds one of the three surviving volumes, published ''The diary of Francis Kilvert: April-June 1870'' in 1982. There was a John Betjeman BBC television documentary on Kilvert, shown in 1976 and titled ''Vicar Of This Parish''. This led to ''Kilvert's Diary'' being dramatised (270 minutes or 390 minutes—sources differ) on British television between 1977 and 1978. The programmes are no longer available, and may have been lost. Kilvert's life was the loose basis for Mary Webb 's novel ''Gone to Earth''; a curate in the Welsh Marches falls in love at first sight with a fey half-gypsy girl. Webb's novel was filmed by Powell & Pressburger on location in the Welsh Marches as ''Gone to Earth'' ( 1950 in re-cut form, fully restored by the National Film Archive in 1985 ). FURTHER READING
