Lucy Hutchinson is on the agenda at a conference on 'Memory of the British Revolutions in the 17th, 18th, and 19th Centuries', Newcastle University 3 September 2024. https://t.co/9gUgjaai6N

While Ludlow condemned Colonel Hutchinson for treachery at the Restoration, he discovered that Hutchinson had been seeking him out before he died, leading him to hope he had repented of his apostasy. Lucy Hutchinson’s Memoirs vindicate him, in part by blaming herself.

Ludlow’s work, though much more detailed, has many parallels with Hutchinson’s. Blair Worden brilliantly edited part of the surviving manuscript; there are now exciting plans for a digital edition of the entire manuscript.

A workshop at Newcastle University took a transnational approach to Edmund Ludlow’s Memoirs. Like Hutchinson’s Memoirs, the work was edited by the historian Charles Firth, in each case without access to the original manuscripts, which prove to have had strong millennial elements

Groundbreaking papers from the conference: Martyn Bennett, Alison Bumke, Hero Chalmers, Julie Crawford, Carme Font Paz, Claire Gheeraert-Graffeuille, Jonathan Gibson, Angus Haldane, Ann Hughes, Paula McQuade, Erin Murphy, David Norbrook, Mihoko Suzuki, Anna Wall, George Yerby.

Just published on The Seventeenth Century: Lucy Hutchinson (1620-81): The English Revolution and Women's Writing.

Congratulations to Claire Gheeraert-Graffeuille for the first monograph on Lucy Hutchinson, and the first study to approach the Memoirs not only through history but through form, analyzing for the first time the complex digressive structure. A milestone!
