Abstract
ABSTRACT The town deposition in the English Court of Chancery, now held at the National Archives, London, UK, provides a rich collection of autobiographical narratives that have yet to be fully explored. This article draws upon current autobiographical theory and trends in autobiographical scholarship, to explore the potential for the recovery of these autobiographical narratives in this rich repository of self-revelation. This source is particularly important in that it is replete with individuals from all walks of seventeenth-century life and through the depositional processes of this particular court, places these within communities and relationships in ways that are unique for early modern sources.
