With wide format pages to give generous margins for notes, the editor presents the latest Hutchinson scholarship in an introduction, and also includes a text summary, bibliography, selected criticism and chronology of Hutchinson's life and times. Lucy Hutchinson (b. 1620) was the wife of John Hutchinson (1615-64). She wrote "Memoirs of the Life of Colonel Hutchinson" (first published 1806) after his death to preserve his memory for her children. Hutchionson held Nottingham for Parliament as governor, signed the king's death warrant and was imprisoned at the Restoration. The book is an account of the state of the country at the outbreak of Civil War and of the conflict in the vicinity of Notthingham, told from the Puritan point of view.

From the Publisher

Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.
