Puritans in the New World
Peter C. Mancall, The Trials of Thomas Morton
Thomas Morton (1579–1647), a sometime lawyer, colonist, and contentious personality, aspired to ride the coattails of the impractical Ferdinando Gorges, who secured a royal grant to large parts of New England well before a charter was obtained by the Massachusetts Bay Company. Fortunately for the Company, Gorges lacked the resources to undertake any grand scheme of colonization. Nonetheless, Morton turned up in Massachusetts about 1624 – he had b…
Puritanism in Transatlantic Perspective
David D. Hall’s book comprises a transatlantic history of the Puritan movement from its sixteenth-century emergence to its heyday under Oliver Cromwell and its subsequent political demise after 1660. Hall provides insights into the movement’s trajectory, including the various forms of Puritan belief and practice in England and Scotland and their transatlantic migration. In Hall’s sweeping view, Puritanism was a driving force for cultural change i…
Author, Author
When the great nineteenth-century antiquarian James Savage disputed the assumption that John Winthrop wrote A Short Story (London 1644), he was on to something, although the evidence he adduced was incorrect. Taking as a starting point two facts about the book-it is a compilation of documents and bears numerous marks of being an intentional text-this essay describes how the Short Story came into being and suggests who may be the "I" who mysteriou…
The Puritans
This book is a sweeping transatlantic history of Puritanism from its emergence out of the religious tumult of Elizabethan England to its founding role in the story of America. Shedding critical new light on the diverse forms of Puritan belief and practice in England, Scotland, and New England, the book provides a multifaceted account of a cultural movement that judged the Protestant reforms of Elizabeth's reign to be unfinished. The book describe…

Deliberative Democracy in the Context of Town Meetings in Seventeenth-Century New England
From Alexis de Tocqueville onward, the seventeenth-century New England town has been associated with political and social practices that nurtured the making of a “democratic” society. Myth or reality? And where does the religion of the English people who founded the New England colonies figure in this story? A close examination of town and church records—which Tocqueville was unable to accomplish—reveals a powerful commitment to the core values o…
The Authority of Conscience in Early Modern England and New England
Transatlantic Puritanism and American Singularities
The taunting question posed in the 1820s by the English critic Sidney Smith, ‘Who reads an American book?’, has long since tumbled into the dustbin of literary history. Yet it continues to reverberate in how Americanists describe the workings of Puritanism in their own country, its presence felt in two respects. One of these is resentment at the indifference to their own work of historians of the Puritan movement in Britain. Another is the assump…
Backwards to the Future
Unlike the memory of the querulous and time-bending White Queen in Through the Looking Glass , mine befits her complaint, inclined as I am to thinking backwards when asked to contemplate the state of our field. Backwards, then, I go in the first section of this essay, after a few opening comments on the situation of our field at the present moment. Thereafter, I describe the emergence of cultural history and summarize some of its strengths and we…
New England, 1660-1730
The 1660s saw sharp changes in the situation of Puritans on both sides of the Atlantic. The provisions of the Act of Conformity of 1662, one of several punitive measures enacted by the English government after the restoration of Charles II in 1660, made it virtually impossible for Puritan-minded clergy to evade the canons of the Church of England, as so many had done before 1640. Thereafter, nonconformity or 'Dissent' referred to people who pract…
What Was the History of the Book? A Response
The history of the book is everywhere, so widely diffused that it merits comparison with the famously elusive Scarlet Pimpernel, whose pursuers sought him without success. Like that figure, book history passes among us in disguise, reluctant to reveal its presence even as it gains ever-greater recognition. In some quarters, it lurks within the domain of bibliography, a field of scholarship dedicated to describing the histories of printed texts an…

viduality. The suppression of individuality weakens a nation, he declared, but it strengthens a boat crew. While the Nation saw in the results of the race proof that English schools trained the body at the expense of the mind, London Society somehow used the same evidence to arrive at the conclusion that Americans do not sufficiently love learning for learning's sake-they are interested only in the practical

The comments that follow are limited to the first volume of The New England Mind, as was also the case in the unpublished paper of mine that Hoopes has criticized. I have also chosen not to comment on the other books and articles that figure in his review of the literature, si…

Toward a History of Popular Religion in Early New England
p zURITANISM was the religion of ordinary people in seventeenthcentury England and America. The lay tradition had its martyrs to look back upon and cherish and, by the middle of the seventeenth century, its thousands of articulate seekers after grace. Foxe's Book of Martyrs told of carpenters, weavers, husbandmen, and housewives whose faith had been tested at the stake. The confidence that sustained the martyrs under Mary Tudor would sustain the …
