This work by Lucy Hutchinson (1620–1681), published in 1806, is an engaging account of her husband Colonel John Hutchinson's life and political commitments during the English Civil War. It is a significant social and historical document of that period, and reveals the author as a highly educated woman.
These Memoirs, first published in 1806, show the determination of Lucy Hutchinson (1620–1681) to justify the stance of her husband Colonel John Hutchinson. In 1649 he had signed the death warrant of Charles I and went on to serve on the Council of State, but, after becoming disillusioned with Cromwell, was arrested and died in prison. Hutchinson turned her journal of the war years into a memoir, portraying her husband as a gentleman who stood by his convictions and whose allegiance to the Puritan cause was noble. The work is a significant document for the social history of the English Civil War period. It shows the author as a highly educated and accomplished woman who wrote poetry and religious works as well as translating Latin at a time when most women remained in the private sphere.
