Using printed and manuscript texts composed between 1575 and 1672, this book defines the genre of the mother's legacy as a distinct branch of the advice tradition in early modern England that takes the form of a dying mother's pious counsel to her children. It explores how legacy writers used the genre to secure personal and family status.
