Autobiographical Writings Of Early Quaker Women

EDITED BY DAVID BOOY

Brief Description:
While writings by early modern Quaker women have been discussed and quoted fairly extensively, relatively few of their texts are readily or widely available. The chief purpose of this edition is to rectify this state of affairs in one central area - that of autobiographical writing. The edition contains substantial excerpts from a range of self-writings by Quaker women, composed between the 1650s and circa 1710: letters, testimonies, memoirs, accounts of spiritual development, narratives of persecution and imprisonment. This volume includes many excerpts not available in other editions including writings by Elizabeth Hooten, Alice Curwen, Elizabeth Stirredge, Anne Docwra, and Alice Hays.
