Richard Baxter's Reliquiae Baxterianae (1696) is a key text for
early modern historical, ecclesiastical, cultural, literary, and
bibliographical studies but in its original printed form it is
textually defective in a number of ways and, lacking structural
coherence or adequate indexes, the wealth of historical data and
immediately observed experiences during the Civil Wars,
Interregnum, and Restoration period in its 800 pages are very
difficult to access. It is similarly challenging to follow the
compelling case that Baxter mounts to vindicate moderate Puritanism
against the misrepresentations of the prevailing royalist
narratives published in the later seventeenth-century, culminating
in Clarendon's History of the Rebellion. No other work from the
period articulates so fully this much maligned tradition, and no
other example of life writing so fully explores the relationship
between public affairs and personal spiritual and emotional
experience. The result is not only a unique primary source but also
a fascinating combination of autobiography, historiography, and
apologetic in a work crucial to our understanding of the
development of modern narrative genres. This edition, prepared by
an international team of early modern scholars and based on
Baxter's autograph manuscript where this is extant, for the first
time makes this unique work available in a reliable text with a
full supporting apparatus. This apparatus includes: extensive
general and textual introductions; explanatory commentary and
textual notes; supporting documentation, much of it never before
published; a detailed chronology; an expository linguistic and
historical glossary; the fullest available bibliography of Baxter
140 or so published titles, whose occasion and publication are a
recurrent topic in the text; and four indexes.
