The Puritans in America: A Narrative AnthologyAlan Heimert, Andrew Delbanco Harvard University Press, 22/02/1985 - 438 من الصفحات The whole destiny of America is contained in the first Puritans who landed on these shores, wrote de Tocqueville. These newcomers, and the range of their intellectual achievements and failures, are vividly depicted in The Puritans in America. Exiled from England, the Puritans settled in what Cromwell called “a poor, cold, and useless” place—where they created a body of ideas and aspirations that were essential in the shaping of American religion, politics, and culture. |
