Routledge Library Editions: Autobiograph British Autobiography in the Seventeenth Century, Book 1, (Hardcover)

Originally published in 1969. In the seventeenth century neither the literary genre nor the term 'autobiography' existed but we see in seventeenth-century literature many kinds of autobiographical writings. This work is a study of nearly two hundred of these, published and unpublished, which together represent a very varied group of writings.
