Terry Wallace is particularly qualified to prepare this work as one who shares with Fell a wholehearted commitment to the Everlasting Gospel. Wallace has been tireless in his work with New Foundation Fellowship, which declares and explores the original faith of Friends. Wallace is a member of Warrington (PA) Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends.
Wallace published two prior books, both consisting of his poems. He is Professor of English and Creative Writing at Harrisburg Area Community College.
My Comments
I feel Wallace has done a real service with this work. Despite her pivotal position among early Friends, Margaret Fell's writings have not received a great deal of attention. Wallace does an excellent job of putting the writings in context, bringing to life both the writings and their extraordinary author.
