A radical new interpretation of the political and intellectual
history of Puritan Massachusetts, The Making of an American
Thinking Class envisions the Bay colony as a seventeenth century
one-party state, where congregations served as ideological 'cells'
and authority was restricted to an educated elite of ministers and
magistrates. From there Staloff offers a broadened conception of
the interstices of political, social, and intellectual authority in
Puritan Massachusetts and beyond, arguing that ideologies, as well
as ideological politics, are produced by self-conscious, and often
class-conscious, thinkers.
