Gebundenes Buch

Autobiography in Early Modern England

By examining four different forms of writing - the almanac, the financial account, the commonplace book and the parish register - Adam Smyth explores the kinds of texts that sixteenth- or seventeenth-century individuals produced to register their life, in the absence of the later, dominant templates.
