Narrative of the Persecutions of Agnes Beaumont

 Edited by

Vera J. Camden

This is a critical edition, based on the Agnes Beaumont manuscripts in the British Library: Beaumont's homely account of the persecutions she endured from her father and suitor because of riding horseback behind the great preacher toa meeting is here presented in its original form. She rejects the traditional doctrine of women's subordination.
