  In the 17th and 18th centuries, thousands of ordinary people experienced evangelical conversion and wrote forms of spiritual autobiography to make sense of their lives. This book traces the rise and progress of 'conversion narrative' in England and establishes some of the cultural conditions that allowed the genre to proliferate.
