Autobiography of George Fox

About this book

The journal of George Fox, founder of the Quakers, published after his death in 1694. Fox records his spiritual struggles, his preaching journeys through England and beyond, his imprisonments, and the rise of the movement he led. Whatever the reader's judgment of his teaching, the journal is a vivid firsthand window into the religious ferment of seventeenth-century England.
