This volume makes available in print for the first time an edition
of the manuscript autobiography of John Rastrick, a Lincolnshire
clergyman known chiefly for leaving the Church of England at the
late date of 1687 to become minister to a succession of
nonconformist congregations in Spalding, Rotherham and King's Lynn.
Despite his relative obscurity, Rastrick's engaging and
entertaining autobiography illuminates many of the central issues
in the religion and politics of the half-century after the
Restoration, offering a uniquely personal perspective upon both
national and local events. Rastrick provides a distinctly
individual account of a minister's understanding of science and the
natural world; education, reading practices and intellectual
culture; marriage, family life, feuds and friendships. At once a
pearl of nonconformist writing and a treasure-trove of information,
Rastrick's autobiography is an essential resource for those
interested in the religion, politics and culture of the late
seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
