  • The Converse of the Pen

    Mitzi Myers, Bruce RedfordARTICLEEighteenth-Century Studies1988

    Though historians of English literature have long labeled eighteenth century golden age of letter writing, few have paid more than lip service to unique epistolary craftsmanship of period. Bruce Redford corrects this omission with first sustained investigation of eighteenth-century familiar letter as a literary form in its own right. His study supplies reader with a critical approach and biographical perspective for appreciating genre that define…

  • Evelyn's Life of Mrs. Godolphin and the Hagiographical Tradition

    Bruce RedfordARTICLEBiography1985

    John Evelyn's Life of Mrs. Godolphin has most frequently been interpreted as a prefiguration of Boswellian achievements in psychological portraiture. A more revealing generic approach looks backward rather than forward: the biography represents a deliberate reworking of the late antique and medieval saint's life. In short, hagiographic convention best accounts for the distinctive traits of the Life of Mrs. Godolphin
