'It is rare for a book to be both erudite and amusing at the same
time, and this book has succeeded. It has changed the common but
unacceptable image of the Puritans as dull, solemn, melancholy
misanthropes' - Horton Davies, author of The Worship of the
American Puritans For over four centuries, 'puritan' has been a
synonym for dour, joyless, and repressed. In Puritans at Play,
Bruce Daniels reappraises the accuracy of this grim portrait by
examining leisure and recreation in colonial and revolutionary New
England. Chapters on music, dinner parties, dancing, sex, alcohol,
taverns, and sports are presented in a lively style making this
book as entertaining as it is illuminating.
