The Gentlewoman’s Remembrance: Patriarchy, Piety, and Singlehood in Early Stuart England
Issac Stephens (NEH Fellow, 2013-14)

A microhistory of a never-married English gentlewoman named Elizabeth Isham, this book centres on an extremely rare piece of women's writing - a recently discovered 60,000-word spiritual autobiography held in Princeton's manuscript collections that she penned around 1639.
