Synopsis
THE JOURNAL, initially dictated to his stepson-in-law when they were both imprisoned in the mid-1670s, combines burning rage against social injustice and a visionary sense of God 'rising' through all creation, with a forthright account of his own persecution and suffering. Written in a style which, in some respects, anticipates the work of James Joyce and the other great modernists, it is, as Nigel Smith writes in his stimulating introduction, not only 'a classic of spiritual and autobiographical writing' but 'an important literary achievement in its own right.' For this new edition, Nigel Smith has 'cleaned up' a difficult text to enhance the coherence of the main narrative, while retaining the immediacy and excitement of the original.

Dr Nigel Smith is a fellow and tutor at Keble College, Oxford and he has published widely in radical writing from the 17th century; his books include an edition of Ranter prose.
