- catalog abstract ""'It may peradventure ... appear strange to thee to recyve theas lines from a mother that dyed when thou weart born.' So writes Elizabeth Joscelin to her unborn daughter, shortly before dying in childbirth on 12 October 1622. As a godly woman, Joscelin was aware of her duty to instruct her child in religion. Prophetically fearing her death, she chose to embody her instruction in a text, a mother's legacy, through which she could (as it were) speak to her child from the dead. In 1624, a chaplain to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Goad, published Joscelin's legacy for a wider audience - but with significant changes." "This edition reproduces Joscelin's own manuscript for the first time, complete with her authorial revisions as well as notes of Goad's cuts and corrections. The result is an unusually rich and complete story of textual and cultural negotiations: not merely of Goad editing Joscelin, but also of Joscelin editing herself."--Jacket.".
