The Puritans of seventeenth century England have been blamed for
everything from the English civil war to the rise of capitalism.
But who were the Puritans of Stuart England? Were they apostles of
liberty, who fled from persecution to the New World? Or were they
intolerant fanatics, intent on bringing godliness to Stuart
England? This study provides a clear narrative of the rise and fall
of the Puritans across the troubled seventeenth century. Their
story is placed in context by analytical chapters, which describe
what the Puritans believed and how they organised their religious
and social life. Quoting many contemporary sources, including
diaries, plays and sermons, this is a vivid and comprehensible
account, drawing on the most recent scholarship. Readers will find
this book an indispensable guide, not only to the religious history
of seventeenth century England, but also to its political and
social history.
