The letters of the Barrington family range from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century; this selection focuses on the large group addressed to Lady Joan (nee Cromwell) Barrington after the death of her husband Sir Francis in July 1628. The quantity and content of the letters indicate that she was the focal point of the extended family, the dowager and respected matriarch. The letters illustrate the nature of the family, its structure and the quality of the relationships it contained. She lived at Hatfield in Essex. Edited with an introduction, biographical notes and indexes.
