The Journal of Thomas Juxon, 1644-1647

by Thomas Juxon, David Scott, Keith Lindley

Overview

This book is a modern and accessible edition of a manuscript journal kept by Thomas Juxon, a puritan Londoner, who produced and traded in sugar. The years of its coverage witnessed the latter stages of the civil war, the creation of the New Model Army, failed attempts to reach a settlement with the king, an abortive "counter-revolution" in 1647 and the army's resultant march on London. Juxon's journal sheds fresh light on these events. The text is supported by a substantial introduction and full scholarly apparatus.

Editorial Reviews

"In their conscientious editing of this valuable text, Lindley and Scott include Juxon's marginalia and the crossed-out portions of the manuscript, wich resides at Dr. William's Library in London. They labor diligently to straighten out the dates of the events alluded to in the Journal, as Juxon was not always correct in his dating. The book adds to our understanding of events in revolutionary London." Sixteenth Century Journal

"This modern and accessible edition of a manuscript journal kept by a London Puritan who produced and traded in sugar." Documentary Editing
