| Summary: | Briget Cooke was an obscure early Stuart woman from a middling background who is memorialized in a manuscript spiritual biography. The biography, besides being a rare, extended portrayal of the piety of an ordinary puritan layperson, provides an unusual glimpse into the practices of godly lay sociability and the ways in which a woman could manipulate those practices to her advantage. The manuscript not only illuminates areas of godly piety difficult for scholars to access, but in its depiction of how Cooke practiced her piety within the Church of England it winds its way in a not entirely predictable fashion through current historiographical debates over the disruptive and even subversive effects of puritan piety. |
