{"product_id":"autobiography-in-early-modern-england-adam-smyth-9780521761727","title":"Autobiography in Early Modern England","description":"How did individuals write about their lives before a modern tradition of diaries and autobiographies was established? 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Smyth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521761727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521761727\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Adam Smyth","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47579590787327,"sku":"9780521761727","price":127.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_57ec7a15-107f-4ac6-b69d-5184f4e54fc7.jpg?v=1763875256","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/autobiography-in-early-modern-england-adam-smyth-9780521761727","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
