Abstract
Abstract This tract (Wing Dl971) is the first of Lady Eleanor’s tracts surviving from the 1640s and thus from the period after her confinement to Bedlam and the Tower of London. Beginning by comparing herself to Joseph (Gen. 37), she proceeds to interpret Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (Dan. 2) and other prophecies of the Book of Daniel, comparing for example King Charles’s agreeing to the Long Parliament’s attainder for the execution of the earl of Strafford with Nebuchad-nezzar’s ordering the death of his wise men. In 1646 Lady Eleanor published a different and longer tract under a similar title (Wing Dl972-page 181 in the present edition). The present edition of Her Appeal to the High Court is based on a copy now in the Thomason Tracts in the British Library (shelf number E. 172[33]).
