| Summary: | Nehemiah Wallington (1598–1658), a woodturner, lived in the City of London all his life. An ardent puritan, he expressed his Calvinist zeal by writing down what he read and heard and experienced, and his reflections on all of this. Wallington penned many thousands of pages, in hours snatched at dawn or dusk, or on rare days away from his workshop. He filled fifty notebooks, writing for himself and for others who might later read his texts. Towards the end of his life, Wallington reviewed all his notebooks and composed ‘An Extract of all the passages of my life or the Booke of all my writing books’. This summary still exists—one of only seven notebooks that survive to document Wallington’s prodigious activity as a writer., Wallington’s output is a rare commodity and immensely valuable. |
