The autobiographical narrative of Anne, Lady Halkett. Born in the early 1620s, Anne, Lady Halkett (nee Murray) grew up on the fringes of the English court during a period of increasing political tension. From 1644 to 1699, Halkett recorded her personal and political experiences in both England and Scotland in a series of manuscript meditations and an autobiographical narrative called A True Account of My Life. Royalism, romance, and contemporary religious debates are central to Halkett' s vivid portrayal of her life as a single woman, wife, mother, and widow. Collectively, the materials edited here offer the opportunity to explore how Halkett' s meditational practice informed her life writing in the only version of her writings to date available in a fully modernized edition. The forty-four meditations in this volume redefine the importance of Halkett' s contribution to seventeenth-century life writing.
Anne, Lady Halkett (1621/2-1699) was a writer whose autobiographical narrative A True Account of My Life reveals her active involvement in the politics of religion. Suzanne Trill is a senior lecturer in English literature at the University of Edinburgh.
