The seventeenth century has often been seen as a watershed in
English history: the time when magic was expelled from the
universe, the scientific revolution began, and capitalism drove out
feudalism. Since the time of Max Weber these and other developments
have been linked with the rise of Puritanism and the debate
surrounding its role and significance shows no sign of lessening.
In this stimulating and lively study William Lamont assesses the
influence of Puritanism in a range of different spheres:
revolution, liberty, capitalism, millenarianism, witchcraft, and
science.
