Overview
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'.Book Details
