Ruth Spalding has selected about 1000 names from the Diary, assembled biographical details that elucidate the Diary references, and has worked into this framework much new material from Whitelocke's papers.\n\nMany entries shed light on the politics of the period, since Whitelocke knew nearly all the leading characters personally. There is also much information on the `unhonoured dead' - secretaries, servants, tenants, villagers, and petty officials.\n\nThe volume complements Miss Spalding's edition of The Diary of Bulstrode Whitelocke, 1605-1675 (RSEH New Series XIII)\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Biography: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Biography: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Biography:%20general%20%5BBG%5D%22\"\u003eBG\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"OUP\/British Academy","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52253130195224,"sku":"9780197260814","price":89.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780197260814.jpg?v=1781271948","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/contemporaries-of-bulstrode-whitelocke-1605-1675-biographies-illustrated-by-letters-and-other-documents-hardback-9780197260814","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
