Reconsidering William Hubbard's A General History of New England
William Hubbard, a minister in seventeenth-century New England, may or may not have intended to publish A General History of New England in his lifetime. Hubbard compiled his history of the region in the late 1670s and early 1680s and submitted it to the Massachusetts General Court, which ordered him to have it transcribed “fairely into a booke, that it may be the more easily perused” in anticipation of publishing it in printed form. The General …

Zachary McLeod Hutchins. Inventing Eden
European conceptions of the New World as a place of unbounded possibilities, a landscape on which humankind could regain lost innocence and acquire knowledge and new experience, have been long and widely explored. In studies of America, familiar themes resonate: as a paradise, as in R. W. B. Lewis’s classic The American Adam: Innocence, Tragedy, and Tradition in the Nineteenth Century (1955); as a “wilderness,” as told by Roderick Frazier Nash in…
Ezra - Psalms
Cotton Mather's synoptic commentary on Ezra through the Psalms contains the core of the massive theological and scholarly endeavor that he called »Biblia Americana.« Here, he links biblical to secular history, analyzes the problem of suffering and evil in creation, and considers the Psalms both as Hebrew poetry and as Christian prophecy. In his annotations on Ezra, Nehemiah, and Esther, Mather explores topics that range from the philosophical und…
