John Evelyn

""The Life of Margaret Godolphin"" is a biographical work written by John Evelyn in 1907. The book tells the story of Margaret Godolphin, a woman who lived in the 17th century and was known for her beauty, intelligence, and piety. Margaret was born into a wealthy and influential family and grew up in the court of Charles II. She was a close friend of the poet John Dryden and the philosopher John Locke, and she was admired by many for her wit and charm. Despite her privileged upbringing, Margaret was deeply religious and devoted her life to charitable works and helping the poor. The book provides a detailed account of Margaret's life, including her childhood, her marriage to Sir Francis Godolphin, and her later years as a widow. It also includes excerpts from her personal writings, which reveal her thoughts on religion, love, and the meaning of life.
