For generations, scholars have imagined American puritans as
religious enthusiasts, fleeing persecution, finding refuge in
Massachusetts, and founding 'America'. The puritans have been read
as a product of New England and the origin of American
exceptionalism. This History challenges the usual understanding of
American puritans, offering new ways of reading their history and
their literary culture. Together, an international team of authors
make clear that puritan America cannot be thought of apart from
Native America, and that its literature is also grounded in
Britain, Europe, North America, the Caribbean, and networks that
spanned the globe. Each chapter focuses on a single place, method,
idea, or context to read familiar texts anew and to introduce
forgotten or neglected voices and writings. A History of American
Puritan Literature is a collaborative effort to create not a
singular literary history, but a series of interlocked new
histories of American puritan literature.
