This is a concise, fluently presented examination of the relation
between William Penn's religious convictions and his political
behavior, from his years as an active young convert to the Quaker
cause to his later years as governor of Pennsylvania. Although not
a full biographical treatment of William Penn, the study presents
new insights into Penn's life because it is based on many ignored
but important pamphlets that Penn wrote. The young William Penn
took a leading role in the Quaker fight for the right of free
assembly, the right of free speech, and freedom of conscience.
However, when faced with governing a booming colony, these very
principles and convictions had to be modified in order to maintain
his and the Friends' control of Pennsylvania. Originally published
in 1967. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
