Description

This scholarly examination of the mother's legacy genre traces how early modern English women shaped family and society through written counsel. Drawing on printed and manuscript texts from 1575 to 1672, the book reveals how mothers used personal advice to secure family status, influence their children's religious beliefs and behaviours, and engage with the era's complex political and religious debates. Jennifer Heller's analysis connects individual legacy texts to broader cultural contexts and historical events, demonstrating the genre's significance as a distinct branch of the advice tradition. The study illuminates how these writings functioned as instruments of maternal authority and women's intellectual participation in early modern England's most pressing social and theological questions.

Key Features
