Adam Smyth examines the kinds of texts that sixteenth or seventeenth-century individuals produced to register their life, in the absence of these later, dominant templates. The book explores how readers responded to, and improvised with, four forms - the almanac, the financial account, the commonplace book and the parish register - to create written records of their lives. Early modern autobiography took place across these varied forms, often through a lengthy process of transmission and revision of written documents. This book brings a dynamic, surprising culture of life-writing to light for the first time, and will be of interest to anyone studying autobiography or early modern literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944711684384,"sku":"NEW0521761727","price":172.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/autobiography-in-early-modern-england-0521761727","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
