Buried from the World
Between 1829 and 1831, Jared Curtis, the newly appointed prison chaplain at the Massachusetts State Prison in Charlestown, interviewed every one of the over 300 inmates at the prison and recorded their biographies in two leatherbound notebooks. Those notebooks, fully transcribed and well annotated after their discovery in 1998, form the basis for Philip F. Gura's Buried from the World. Curtis's notebooks provide the sole memorial of the hundreds …

Early American Literature at the New Century
N these pages in i988 (for a Forum) I assessed the scholarship in early J American literature from the founding of Early American Literature in 1i966 through I987 and received responses from Larzer Ziff, Norman S. Grabo, and the late David Levin.1 The Forum originated in my disappointment at not finding its subject treated in Jack P. Greene and J. R. Pole's landmark volume, Colonial British America.2 This rich and wide-ranging collection set an a…

Poetry and Ideology in Revolutionary Connecticut
Poetry, once despaired W.H.Auden, makes nothing happen. That, however, is a modern condition, argues William Dowling, for in the 18th century poets helped topple corrupt governments and fuel revolutions. In this work on the creation and early days of the republic, Dowling revives the literary and intellectual atmosphere of the period by examining major works of four early poets of the circle known as the Connecticut Wits and their forerunners.

Thoreau's Maine Woods Indians
W HEN IN I850 RALPH WALDO EMERSON brought out his fourth book of essays, his title accurately conveyed substance of what had become a major preoccupation in Transcendentalist circles, identification of individuals who might serve as Representative Men for age.

Cotton Mather's Life of Phips
IOBERT CALEF, the improper Bostonian who braved the wrath of New England's orthodox clergy by publishing a severe indictment of the Salem witchcraft episode in More Wonders of the Invisible World (London, 1700), also offered (in a postscript) an astute observation on a book recently published in London. He noted that Pietas in Patriam: The Life of His Excellency Sir William Phips, Knt. (1697) pretends to raise a statue in honor of sir William, ye…

Henry Thoreau and the Wisdom of Words
IN 1873 William Ellery Channing, nephew of the Unitarian divine, published a generous reminiscence of his longtime friend, Henry Thoreau; and among the many salient hints about Thoreau's character strewn through Thoreau: The Poet-Naturalist is Channing's judgment that anyone reading Thoreau should be aware of his side,-this needs to be carefully considered.' Given this early assessment by one of Thoreau's closest associates, it is surprising how …

The Radical Ideology of Samuel Gorton
S AMUEL Gorton remains one of the most enigmatic characters in early New England history, primarily because his doctrinal link to prominent English radicals has not been sufficently understood. Most historians' accounts of him have fallen into the historical typecasting that either resembles Nathaniel Morton's vituperative description of Gorton as proud and pestilent seducer . . . deeply leavened with blasphemous and familistical opinions, or err…

Language and Meaning
SCHOLARS have been remiss in not bestowing enough attention on nineteenth-century American thinkers whose assessments of the nature of language provide a sharp focus on American Romantic literature and parallel some of the concerns of contemporary literary theorists. Although in our own intellectual history we do not find a unique systematization of such topics as coherence or signification-a body of texts to rival Nietzsche's, for example-we do …

Wurr RITING in i644 to a friend in England, Thomas Shepard lamented late differences and breaches amongst the godly in that country and warned against spreading of the contagion of opinions. Such cracks and flames in the new building of the Reformation portend a fall, he continued; to avoid worse dayes than ever England yet saw English Puritans would have to follow New England's example and move decisively to crush dangerous heterodoxies before t…
