Lydia Prout's Dreadfullest Thought
What was Lydia Prout's "dreadfullest thought"? This microhistory, which examines one of the earliest devotional journals penned by a woman in British North America, uncovers surprising connections between the "unruly passion" of a devoted mother who suffered repeated bereavements during the 1710s and the Satanic fantasies of Salem witchcraft confessors in 1692. An annotated edition of Prout's journal is reproduced in the essay's appendix
Brook Farm: The Dark Side of Utopia – By Sterling F. Delano
Native American Popular Religion in New England’s Old Colony, 1670–1770
In recent years, historians have turned their attention to the continued presence of Native Americans living “behind the frontier” in eighteenth-century New England. Where a previous generation of scholars once wrangled over the benignity of seventeenth-century Puritan “praying towns” and equated conversion with cultural suicide, current studies of Native religion in the decades preceding the American Revolution suggest that Indians preserved tra…
Jonathan Edwards, Enthusiast? Radical Revivalism and the Great Awakening in the Connecticut Valley
It is difficult to imagine Jonathan Edwards countenancing the "Confus'd, but very Affecting Noise" that erupted in Suffield, Massachusetts, on July 6, 1741. Yet there he stood, his loud voice rising in prayer above the din that emanated from an assembly of more than two hundred boisterous men and women who had gathered to listen to his exhortations in the "two large Rooms" of a private house. On the previous day, the visiting Northampton, Massach…
Seeking Synthesis in Edwards Scholarship
England side and offers a useful look at the socialization of men that could aid in further transatlantic comparisons. The question remains: does the study of masculinity have any explanatory force? Can masculinity be transformative, or is it merely reflective of power determined elsewhere? Anne Lombard deftly recasts the question by treating masculine ideals, not as a cause of historical change, but as a kind of anchor against the effects of cha…

Pious Persuasions: Laity and Clergy in Eighteenth-Century New England
Congregational ministers in early New England worked hard to advance the cause of orthodox religion among the region's laypeople, but the people's willingness to voice differences with their ministers persisted. By the time of the Revolutionary War, New Englanders had established a strong tradition of independent-mindedness, shaped in part by the previous century's struggles over piety and religious practice. In this study, the author explores bo…
