Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anne Clifford, in her Great Books of Records, places herself within the dynamic 600 year history of the Clifford family. This book is unique, including a wide variety of records that provide an unbroken view into life on the Clifford estates in England, (as well as the borders of Wales,Ireland, and Scotland) for centuries, as well as the family's involvement at the centre of political life. Here we glimpse the lives of simple widows, traders, farmers, and labourers juxtaposed with the adventures of soldiers, lords and ladies, princes and princesses. We see how rebellions,crusades, and foreign wars impacted both the great and the humble. And we witness changes in the practices of justice and custom. In this book Anne Clifford asserts the centrality of women to the success of the Clifford and other noble families, including the monarchy.Anne Clifford writes herself into this history, asserting her own rights to govern the lands of her father after her decades long inheritance dispute. Anne Clifford's composition of the Great Books draws upon medieval traditions and early modern scholarship and builds upon these through theinclusion of biographies of all the Clifford lords and ladies, along with an extended biography of her mother Margaret Russell and her own autobiographical, "The Life of Mee". Those interested in the lives of medieval and early modern women, changes in culture, the effect of the political uponindividuals, and the inspiring life of Anne Clifford will find this a rich and rewarding book.

She and her mother vow to contestthe will. Annespends the next three decades battling for what she believes is rightfullyhers. She risks everything by opposing her beloved husband, her family andfriends, the nobility, the law courts, the Archbishop of Canterbury and theKing. She steadfastly (and treasonably) refuses to accept the King's decision,whatever the consequences, but is defeated and left with the prophecy as heronly hope. Widowed at thirty-four, she survives an anxious period alone with hertwo young daughters before surprising everyone with an ill-judged secondmarriage which gives her access to the highest in the land. But the Civil Wardestroys that power and confines the 52-year-old Anne to a grand palace inLondon for six years. Still convinced of her rights, will she ever attain "yelandes of mine inheritance"?

Download or read book Autobiography and Gender in Early Modern Literature written by Sharon Cadman Seelig and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-03-02 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early modern autobiographies and diaries provide a unique insight into women's lives and how they remembered, interpreted and represented their experiences. Sharon Seelig analyzes the writings of six seventeenth-century women: diaries by Margaret Hoby and Anne Clifford, more extended narratives by Lucy Hutchinson, Ann Fanshawe, and Anne Halkett, and the extraordinarily varied and self-dramatizing publications of Margaret Cavendish. Combining an original account of the development of autobiography with analysis of the texts, Seelig explores the relation between the writers' choices of genre and form and the stories they chose to tell.
