Returning to our theme of life writing, Olivia chats to Gemma Turner about her research on early modern carers. Gemma discusses how the early modern gentlewoman Elizabeth Isham reconceptualised her difficult spiritual relationship with caring after writing her autobiographical Booke of Remembrance.Gemma works for the University of Southampton within Student Disability and Inclusion. She recently completed her MRes project entitled 'The Carer's View: A New Perspective on Chronic Illness and Disability within the Early Modern Family' at the University of York. The project examined the experiences of two women, Elizabeth Isham and Mary Rich. Her research has mainly focused upon the surprisingly uncomfortable way caring responsibilities interacted with both women's Christian faiths. ---------------Image credit: Leaf 1r of Elizabeth Isham’s Booke of Remembrance, digitised through PrincetonUniversity Library: http://arks.princeton.edu/ark:/88435/gx41mm48v ---------------Technecast is a podcast series showcasing research from across the arts and humanities.
