John Hutchinson played a pivotal role in the English Revolution--he signed the death warrant for King Charles I. And, for his pains he paid with his life, dying an ignominious death in prison four years after the Restoration. His wife Lucy, determined to restore his reputation, wrote this memoir as a defense against allegations that he was not a "gentleman"...and in order "to moderate her woe." An unequalled social document, a startling political analysis, and a moving tribute to a lost husband.

Lucy Hutchinson (b. 1620) wrote Memoirs of the Life of Colonel Hutchinson to "moderate her woe" and to defend her husband against the allegation that he was not a "gentleman." She presents Hutchinson as a creative, generous and kind man, a hero whose just allegiance to the Puritan cause resulted in his ignominious imprisonment and death at the Restoration. In so doing, she writes a moving tribute and a shrewd political analysis of this tumultuous period.

Order and Disorder

Order and Disorder, the first epic poem by an Englishwoman, has never before been available in its entirety. The first five cantos were printed anonymously in 1679, but fifteen further cantos remained in manuscript, probably because they were so politically sensitive. David Norbrook, widely recognized as a leading authority on Renaissance literature and politics, has now attributed the work to the republican, Lucy Hutchison. In this prestigious scholarly volume, he provides a wealth of editorial matter, along with the first full version of Order and Disorder ever to be published.
