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 \u003ci\u003eA True Account of My Life\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRoyalism, 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 modernised edition. The forty-four meditations in this volume redefine the importance of Halkett’s contribution to seventeenth-century life writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47536242852076,"sku":"9781649590244","price":133.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781649590244-a-true-account-of-my-life-and-selected-meditations.jpg?v=1776379827"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/lady-anne-halkett.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
