Summary:Offering the reason that she was too poor to purchase a 'memorandum book at this time', Burton repurposed the bound blank manuscript notebook once again, and embarked on a series of her own diary entries that covered nearly four months in the fall of 1782. The edition raises compelling questions about the impact on writing of the technologies of writing, about devotional habits, the relationship of printed materials (sermons, psalms, newsbooks) and the copying of such in private notebooks, and the methods and reach into families and communities of exemplary daily prayers and life experiences. With an extensive introduction to the state of these investigations, and with equally extensive illustrations (37 images and a fold-out map of London) and appendices, Camden delivers an exciting new case study for teaching and research alike.
