Mary Astell And John Norris

About this book

For precisely one year, from St Matthew's Day (September 21), 1693 until St Matthew's Day, 1694, Mary Astell (1666-1731), a native of Newcastle but by then five years a resident in the Chelsea district of London, and John Norris (1656-1711), newly appointed rector of Bemerton - then, as now, a suburb of Salisbury - corresponded.
