Anna Trapnel’s Report and Plea; or, A Narrative of Her Journey from London into Cornwall

This edition is a revelation: behind the Fifth Monarchy prophet exists the historical Anna Trapnel, a woman who endured hardship, found communities, spoke truth to power, and who emerges as a sophisticated and inspiring activist and literary figure from an earlier era. The text assumes its place in the literary canon alongside such spiritual autobiographies as those of Fox and Bunyan. The annotations and introduction frame the work beautifully for students and specialists alike, never overshadowing it. This is an outstanding, user-friendly, and highly researched edition, all one could wish for, and more.
