Widely regarded as the most important narrative of
seventeenth-century New England, William Bradford's "Of Plimmoth
Plantation" is one of the founding documents of American literature
and history. In "William Bradford's Books" this portrait of the
religious dissenters who emigrated from the Netherlands to New
England in 1620 receives perhaps its sharpest textual analysis to
date--and the first since that of Samuel Eliot Morison two
generations ago. Far from the gloomy elegy that many readers find,
Bradford's history, argues Douglas Anderson, demonstrates
remarkable ambition and subtle grace, as it contemplates the
adaptive success of a small community of religious exiles. Anderson
offers fresh literary and historical accounts of Bradford's
accomplishment, exploring the context and the form in which the
author intended his book to be read.
