The autobiographical narrative of Anne, Lady Halkett. Born in the
early 1620s, Anne, Lady Halkett (nee Murray) grew up on the fringes
of the English court during a period of increasing political
tension. 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 A
True Account of My Life. Royalism, 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
modernized edition. The forty-four meditations in this volume
redefine the importance of Halkett's contribution to
seventeenth-century life writing.
