Exemplarity and Familiarity: William Woodroffe’s Edition of Mary Rich’s Diaries.
Mary Rich, Countess of Warwick kept a spiritual diary from 1666 until her death in 1678 and the manuscript is an important example of the introspection and self-examination that particular practices of reading and writing encouraged in the Protestant “godly”. Such was her devotion that she earned a place in Samuel Clarke’s Lives of Sundry Eminent Persons (London, 1683) as a model of feminine piety. Afterwards, the diaries passed into the hands of her personal chaplain Thomas Woodroffe and then to his son William, a fellow of Queen’s College, Cambridge and later vicar of Balsham in Cambridge. William took the mass of papers, broke them up into sections spanning six months, indexed each fragment, glossed her entries at lines he considered significant or noteworthy and then distributed the edited texts as exemplary reading to his parishioners. His marginal comments on Rich’s diary entries serve as a second memoir of Rich; as a form of autobiography since he records significant events in his own life and as instructions to his parishioners on how to interpret Rich’s work. He places the greatest emphasis (through the heaviest annotation) on the entries recording her troubled married life but also highlights the communal aspects of this introspective work, listing visitors and identifying well-known figures. Woodroffe’s treatment of the manuscript has influenced all scholarship on Rich since; indeed it is impossible to ignore since his amplifications and speculations are on the manuscript page, guiding any reader. As a result his editing stipulates a particular interpretations of Rich’s words, behaviour and activities and his editing work is inseparable from the text itself so that any treatment of Rich as a narrative voice is also a engagement with the preconceptions, intentions and interpretations of her first editor.
