- Summary:
- A classic of spiritual autobiography--a genre which flourished in 17th-century England, as anxiety over one's spiritual state encouraged rigorous self-scrutiny and the sharing of spiritual experiences. This edition contrasts the work with four other contemporary autobiographies, making its cultural milieu more meaningful to the modern reader.
