Autorenporträt
Thomas Ellwood (1639–1713) was an English religious writer and notable member of the Religious Society of Friends, commonly known as the Quakers. His autobiography, 'The History of Thomas Ellwood Written By Himself', provides an intimate account of his life and the milieu of 17th-century England, with particular focus on his conversion to and experiences within Quakerism. Ellwood is often remembered for his close association with John Milton, having served as a reader to the blind poet, which is detailed in his memoirs. His literary contributions are reflective of his strong advocacy for religious tolerance and his opposition to religious persecution. Ellwood's works encapsulate the Quaker ideals of silent worship, integrity, and peace while narrating the stark realities of spiritual and personal growth amidst societal challenges. His prose, steeped in the contemplative and unembellished style characteristic of Quaker expression, has served as an important record of the early Friends movement. Ellwood's writings, though not voluminous, continue to offer valuable insights into the religious controversies and personal convictions of his time.
