In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

I n most cases I have chosen to refer to individuals, notably Mary herself , by given name only. Though this is not conventional practice when referring to the author of a text, I have chosen to do so for two reasons. First, my narrative covers Mary’s life before and after her marriage, and using Mary’s given name provides continuity. Second, I aim to eliminate unnecessary confusion between the many individuals who share a surname. While this style is less formal, it is not intended to convey any less respect. xiii Editor’s Note ❈ This page intentionally left blank ...
