  When Sacvan Bercovitch s The American Jeremiad first appeared in 1978, it was hailed as a landmark study of dissent and cultural formation in America, from the Puritans writings through the major literary works of the antebellum era. For this long-awaited anniversary edition, Bercovitch has written a deeply thoughtful and challenging new preface that reflects on his classic study of the role of the political sermon, or jeremiad, in America from a…

  This essay challenges the prevailing notion of the jeremiad as a cyclical rhetoric of despair and hope, arguing that it is instead a linear form rooted in the unique historical experience of Puritan America. Van Cromphout and Bercovitch trace the evolution of the jeremiad from its biblical origins through its adaptation by Puritan preachers and its subsequent secularization in American political and social discourse. They demonstrate how the jere…

  IN A RECENT study of Thyrsis' magic herb in Comus, John M. Steadman concludes that means knowledge from the Greek haimon, skillful. This derivation, he acknowledges, does not preclude other etymological interpretations, but he cautions that superimpose additional meanings to court (pp. 205-207). It seems unlikely, however, that the poet himself would not have recognized certain additional meanings (relating to Haemonia or Thessaly, blood or blood…

The emigrants had based their claim on a social covenant. They had a right to it, Williams agreed, and by that right t…
