NOTABLE WOMEN OF THE PURITAN TIMES
William Chapman | Second Edition | 1887
Swan Sonnenschein, Lowrey & Co., London

An attractive Victorian volume exploring the lives of women associated with the seventeenth-century Puritan movement, presented in an ornate blue pictorial cloth binding.

The biographical accounts include Elizabeth Bourchier, wife of Oliver Cromwell, Frances Cromwell and Margaret Winthrop. Together, they offer a Victorian perspective on women’s roles in the religious, family and social life of the period.

The decorative cover combines floral designs, gilt accents and a central family illustration. Gilt page edges complete its distinctive appearance, making it an appealing addition to collections of women’s history, religious biography or Victorian decorative bindings.
