In speeches, political pamphlets, and other works of religious controversy, writers from the reign of James I to that of James II unexpectedly erupt into autobiography. John Milton famously interrupts his arguments against episcopacy with autobiographical accounts of his poetic hopes and dreams, while John Donne's attempts to describe his conversion from Catholicism wind up obscuring rather than explaining. Similar moments appear in the works of Thomas Browne, John Bunyan, and the two King Jameses themselves. These autobiographies are familiar enough that their peculiarities have frequently been overlooked in scholarship, but as Brooke Conti notes, they sit uneasily within their surrounding material as well as within the conventions of confessional literature that preceded them. Confessions of Faith in Early Modern England positions works such as Milton's political tracts, Donne's polemical and devotional prose, Browne's Religio Medici, and Bunyan's Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners as products of the era's tense political climate, illuminating how the pressures of public self-declaration and allegiance led to autobiographical writings that often concealed more than they revealed. For these authors, autobiography was less a genre than a device to negotiate competing political, personal, and psychological demands. The complex works Conti explores provide a privileged window into the pressures placed on early modern religious identity, underscoring that it was no simple matter for these authors to tell the truth of their interior life?even to themselves. 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aReligion and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aAuthors, English$xReligious life 606 $aAutobiography$xReligious aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aReligion and literature$xHistory 615 0$aAuthors, English$xReligious life. 615 0$aAutobiography$xReligious aspects. 676 $a820.9/3582 700 $aConti$b Brooke$01045475 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464890003321 996 $aConfessions of faith in early modern England$92471789 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02189nam 2200457Ia 450 001 996386527303316 005 20221108065458.0 035 $a(CKB)4940000000081031 035 $a(EEBO)2240896832 035 $a(OCoLC)13619302 035 $a(EXLCZ)994940000000081031 100 $a19860522d1693 uy | 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurbn||||a|bb| 200 10$aTravels into divers parts of Europe and Asia, undertaken by the French King's order to discover a new way by land into China$b[electronic resource] $econtaining many curious remarks in natural philosophy, geography, hydrology and history : together with a description of Great Tartary and of the different people who inhabit there /$fby Father Avril of the Order of the Jesuits ; done out of French ; to which is added, A supplement extracted from Hakluyt and Purchas giving an account of several journeys over land from Russia, Persia, and the Moguls country to China, together with the roads and distances of the places 210 $aLondon $cPrinted for Tim.
