Synopsis

Lucy Hutchinson (b. 1620) wrote Memoirs of the Life of Colonel Hutchinson to "moderate her woe" and to defend her husband against the allegation that he was not a "gentleman." She presents Hutchinson as a creative, generous and kind man, a hero whose just allegiance to the Puritan cause resulted in his ignominious imprisonment and death at the Restoration. In so doing, she writes a moving tribute and a shrewd political analysis of this tumultuous period.

From the Publisher

Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.
