Alice Thornton Livres
Alice Thornton a rédigé dans sa vieillesse une autobiographie d'une vivacité et d'un détail remarquables, dépeignant sa vie comme une suite presque ininterrompue de souffrances. Franc et cru, son œuvre révèle une facette méconnue de la vie « ordinaire » d'une femme du XVIIe siècle. Elle y décrit ses sentiments sur le mariage, les maladies liées à la grossesse et à l'accouchement, les affections familiales et les difficultés financières rencontrées en tant que veuve. Ayant vécu dans le nord de l'Angleterre, mariée par devoir, donné naissance à neuf enfants (dont six sont morts) et devenue veuve à un âge mûr, le récit de Thornton offre un portrait saisissant des luttes quotidiennes.
