The Memoir of 1603 and the Diary of 1616-1619
Anne Clifford’s memoir for the year 1603 and her diary of 1616-1619 are invaluable records of the daily life and social and family relationships of a noblewoman of her time. In them she records her travels, her reading, her religious observances, her relationships with her mother, her husband, and her child, and the progress—or lack thereof—of her legal efforts to obtain what she viewed as her inheritance, extensive estates in the north of England. The two texts offer a unique view of the life, feelings, experience, and self-fashioning of this extraordinary woman, and they bring to life the history and literary culture of the period in a refreshing and direct way. This Broadview edition includes an illuminating introduction that places these texts in their historical and literary context. The appendices include poems dedicated and addressed to Clifford, her funeral sermon, and the “Great Picture” of the Clifford family.
Lady Anne Clifford, Countess of Pembroke, Dorset and Montgomery (1590-1676)
Lady Anne Clifford was one of the most renowned noblewomen of the Stuart era. Born on 30 January 1590 at Skipton Castle in Yorkshire, she spent much of her life fighting to win the baronial titles and estates in Westmorland and Yorkshire of her famous father, George Clifford, the Queen's champion. Having steadfastly resisted the browbeating of her husbands, the earls of Dorset and Pembroke, and also James I, in 1643 she inherited the estates and in 1649 moved north to take possession. There, she won enduring fame by restoring her ruined castles and churches, founding almshouses and erecting monuments; her philanthropy was legendary. She died at Brougham Castle in Westmorland on 22 March 1676, aged eighty-six, the last of her line. In this first full-scale biography for over seventy years and the first ever cirtical study, Lady Anne emerges as a far more fascinating and complex personality than has been supposed.
