The Gentlewoman's Remembrance: Patriarchy, Piety, and Singlehood in Early Stuart

Description: The Gentlewoman's Remembrance by Isaac Stephens Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description A highly original and detailed study of an individual single woman in early modern England, based on a recently discovered spiritual autobiography authored by a never-married gentlewoman, Elizabeth Isham. Provides new perspective on womens writing, identity and status in the early modern period. Publisher Description A microhistory of a never-married English gentlewoman named Elizabeth Isham, this book centres on an extremely rare piece of womens writing - a recently discovered 60,000-word spiritual autobiography held in Princetons manuscript collections that she penned around 1639. The autobiography is unmatched in providing an inside view of her family relations, her religious beliefs, her reading habits and, most sensationally, the reasons why she chose never to marry despite desires to the contrary held by her male kin, particularly Sir John Isham, her father. Based on the autobiography, combined with extensive research of the Isham family papers now housed at the county record office in Northampton, this book restores our historical memory of Elizabeth and her female relations, expanding our understanding and knowledge about patriarchy, piety and singlehood in early modern England. -- .
