EB was a seventeenth-century woman whose religious background (radical Anglican , which after the Restoration became Dissenting ) encouraged her to acquire a scholarly education. Her spiritual life embraced the practice of diary- and letter-writing as well as extemporary prayer, and after her death her widower published a volume of memoirs which mediated and preserved all that survives of her work in these genres.
