Settling the Good Land: Governance and Promotion in John Winthrop's
New England (1620-1650) is the first institutional history of the
Massachusetts Bay Company, cornerstone of early modern English
colonisation in North America. Agnes Delahaye analyses settlement
as a form of colonial innovation, to reveal the political
significance of early New England sources, above and beyond
religion. John Winthrop was not just a Puritan, but a settler
governor who wrote the history of the expansion of his company as a
record of successful and enduring policy. Delahaye argues that
settlement, as the action and the experience of appropriating the
land, is key to understanding the role played by Winthrop's
writings in American historiography, before independence and in our
times.
