P. Thompson, Midland History Ralph Josselin, vicar of Earls Colne in Essex from 1641 to his death in 1683, kept for almost forty years a remarkably detailed account of his life-his mental and emotional world as well as his activities. Few diaries from this period afford such a rounded picture of a family from so many aspects. Alan Macfarlane, a historian and lecturer in social anthropology at Cambridge University, explores through the diary Josselins life as a farmer, businessman, Puritan clergyman, neighbor, husband, and father, providing a unique view of seventeenth-century life from the inside.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51856159932704,"sku":"NEW0393008495","price":12.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71yeJTTNrXL.jpg?v=1781547759","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-family-life-of-ralph-josselin-a-seventeenth-century-clergyman-an-essay-in-historical-anthropology-norton-library-paperback-0393008495","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
