Quite recently, David Norbrook observed that Lucy Hutchinson’s The Memoirs of the Life of Colonel Hutchinson has “fallen into eclipse” because it is widely understood as a “romance” of the regicide John Hutchinson. Indeed, critics have long read The Memoirs as a partisan history composed to protect the Colonel’s legacy as a devout Calvinist and faithful parliamentarian officer after his death. Complicating matters is the fact that Lucy Hutchinson’s self-writing in Memoirs is often incomplete and cursory, subsumed by her narration of her husband’s political and military career, overshadowed by her detailed accounts of local or national politics, or even purposefully obscured in her effort to preserve John’s masculine authority and posthumous reputation.
